# HourlyLoggerRotator Logger class patch for hourly log rotation support [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/umbrellio/hourly_logger_rotator.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/umbrellio/hourly_logger_rotator) ## Requirements Ruby 2.3, 2.4, 2.5 or 2.6 ## Installation - `gem install hourly_logger_rotator` and `require "hourly_logger_rotation"` - Or add it to your Gemfile and `bundle` ## Usage Requiring the gem automatically adds an `hourly` rotation period support to Ruby's standard Logger class. You can initialize it like this: ``` Logger.new('some_log_file', 'hourly') ``` Keep in mind that loggers created before the gem is required will not support the hourly rotation period. Specifically, in case of a Rails app, require this before Rails initializes; a good place to do that is in `application.rb` right after requiring `boot` ### Setting default rotation period `HourlyLoggerRotator.default_rotation_period=(some_period)` will make it so newly created loggers have a rotation period of `some_period` unless you provide an explicit period in the constructor ## License Released under MIT License ## Authors Created by Dmitry Gubitskiy Supported by Umbrellio
