## [Live Demo](http://logster.info/logs)

## Installation

Add these lines to your application's Gemfile:

    gem 'redis'
    gem 'logster'

And then execute:

    $ bundle

Make logster web available add the following to your `routes.rb`:

```
mount Logster::Web => "/logs", lambda { |req| req.session["admin"] }
```

Out of the box, logster will use the default redis connection, to customise, in `config/application.rb`

```
Logster.store = Logster.RedisStore.new(redis_connection)
```

## Usage

The concept is to have an embedded "exception reporting service" admins can view on live sites.

Logs will be visible by default at `http://sitename.com/logs`

## Thanks

Logster UI is built using [Ember.js](http://emberjs.com/)
