Question: Is there any way to turn off some log entries but leave all the other actions log levels unchanged?
Jamis Buck’s reply:
You can do the following:
def monitor
logger.silence do
...
end
end
The #silence method is a Rails addition to logger that temporarily bumps the log level up to ERROR for the duration of the block. If you want it to be a little more verbose than that, you can also specify the log level explicitly:
logger.silence(Logger::WARN) do
...
end
