Heroku rails console output

I'm running a large update on my models (generating a random public_id) and it's taking forever on heroku.

Running the command: 

Episode.where(public_id: nil).find_each do |e|
  e.set_public_id
  e.save
end

Is taking forever and it's a black box. Running it locally I could see the progress through database commits.

Is there a way to see what's going on? Is there a different way I should be running this command?

Make a rake task & use the logger to inform whats happening

#lib/tasks/episode.rake
require 'rake'

namespace :episode do
  desc "your description"
  task :update => :environment do
    Episode.where(public_id: nil).find_each do |e|
      Rails.logger.info "updating #{e} ..."          
      e.set_public_id
      e.save
    end
  end
end

Then run it 

heroku run rake episode:update

and you can tail the logs in another terminal window with

heroku logs -t
