Ruby on Rails：生产环境的详细错误日志

Question

Whenever runnning in production, RoR displays only warnings and errors, which is fine.

Howver, the logger does not display detailed information about the error : no timestamp, no IP address, no user request.

I tried creating a custom Logger, but it does not allow me to get the IP address and actual user request without using evil methods (since it's within a model).

Ideally, I'd like to have messages such as :

 Started GET "/api/request?" for 89.80.x.x at Mon Nov 21 17:29:08 +0100 2011 

And the strack trace of the error below. But these should only be displayed for warnings and errors, and the end user should not see them( so consider_all_requests_local should be off).

Any way to achieve this ?

Exceptions in production mode should not happen often, so I went for this gem: Exception Notification .

An exception in production mode should be dealt with immediately so this is (for me at least) better then logging the error.
