One-line detailed logging for Rails 3 (ActiveSupport::Notifications) and later

oneline_detailed_logging.rb

# Outputs this at warn log level:
# 1.2.3.4 GET /path 200 OK BlahController#action HTML 938.2 (DB 11.8, View 719.7) {params} {optional params from flash[:log]}
# 
# Save as config/initializers/oneline_detailed_logging.rb. Consider 
# decreasing the log level from "info" to "warn" (in production.rb) so 
# the one-line log message replaces the standard request logs.


# override process_action to add 2 things to the payload:
# - remote IP
# - an optional stash which is available to subscribers. Basically, flash[:log].inspect will be logged.
