Ruby DRb Logger

Remote logger with minimal effort using Distributed Ruby (DRb).

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'dlogger', git: 'https://github.com/Staraway225/dlogger'

And then execute:

$ bundle install

Usage

1. Create and start a server which will receive and display the messages:

   require "dlogger"
   
   server = DLogger::Host.new
   server.start

2. Create and start a client that will be sending the messages to the server:

   require "dlogger"
   
   client = DLogger::Client.new
   client.start

3. Send messages using DLogger::Client#logger:

   client.logger("TestProgname") { "Hello" }

DLogger::Client#logger represents a default Ruby Logger.

It is advised to use this gem only inside of a Local Area Network, by exposing DRb interface to the world you're taking the responsibility for potential security breaches since there's no protection supplied.
