Different logger levels for different classes

In my java days I used to configure the logger so that different classes had different levels i.e.

Person.logger.level = :debug
Address.logger.level = :error

I haven't been able to find a way to do this with the ruby logger. Perhaps I need to create a separate logger for each class?

You may have luck with a lightweight approach known as log tagging. The inflexibility of standard logging packages has led me to develop and release Tagalog, which is a single-file, open-source logging system. There are versions of the library in PHP, Python, and Ruby available on github:

https://github.com/dorkitude/tagalog

or, specifically for the Ruby version:

https://github.com/dorkitude/tagalog.rb

A simple way to use it in your case is:

class Person
  def self.log(input):
    return Tagalog::log(input, [:person, :debug])

# ... (rest of class)

end

The advantages of tagging over levels are that you can turn tags on and off as you see fit, and they can be feature-specific, or they can just be levels like you're used to.
