rails console commands are logged?

Question

In a deploy production.log was deleted and then someone ran a delete_all in a Model by mistake without backing up the database, is there any place where it is logged the console output or that data is gone forever?

Edit: the database is MySql and the hosting is Amazon Beanstalk.

Answer 1

Sounds like you're in a tough spot. To prevent this sort of thing from happening in the future, consider using something like LogEntries or MongoDB to record all your logs and prevent them from getting deleting by storing them off-site. LogEntries is very easy to use, but you can find further reading for MongoDB here and here .
