Setting log levels with Ruby Logger

I'm using a Ruby gem that utilizes the Logger class.

Is there a way to set log levels globally like in log4j with an .xml or .properties file?

I don't want the output to be written at all. My concern is that printing all those logging statements drains performance.

P. S.: It's just a simple script, I'm not using Ruby on Rails.

Because the gem you're using is kind enough to expose the logger as a attr_accessor, you can simply do this:

some_server = Server.new
some_server.logger.level = Logger::ERROR

Obviously feel free to chose the log level that is appropriate for your environment and application (http://www.ruby-doc.org/stdlib-1.9.3/libdoc/logger/rdoc/Logger.html).

Hope this helps.
