• You have a high performance Ruby application that needs an equally high performance logging solution?
• You run a web application across a cluster of processes, and want to collect all of your application logs in a single location?
• You have a collection of system administration scripts, and would like to manage their logs in a comprehensive, central way?
• You want to record events to a file for postprocessing later?

The Swiftcore Analogger was designed with you in mind. It implements a fast, flexible asynchronous logging system for Ruby programs as well as client library for sending logging messages to the Analogger process.

Analogger will accept logs from multiple sources and can have multiple logging destinations. Currently, logging to files, to STDOUT, or to STDERR is supported. A future revision may support logging to a database destination, as well.

Analogger depends on EventMachine (http://rubyforge.org/projects/eventmachine) to provide the framework for the network communications, though EM is not used for the client library.
