Ougai
A Ruby structured logging library that handles messages, custom data, and exceptions, outputting JSON or human-readable logs.
What is Ougai?
Ougai is a structured logging library for Ruby that extends the standard Logger class. It enables developers to log messages, structured data, and exceptions with ease, outputting logs in JSON format compatible with Bunyan and pino or in a human-readable format for console debugging. It solves the problem of inconsistent and hard-to-parse log formats in Ruby applications.
Ruby developers building applications that require structured, machine-readable logs for monitoring, debugging, or integration with log aggregation systems like Fluentd, Logentries, or Loggly.
Developers choose Ougai for its seamless compatibility with Ruby's existing Logger, its support for child loggers and field merging, and its interoperability with popular Node.js logging tools, making it a versatile choice for modern Ruby logging needs.
