Rails not writing to production logs

You have to redirect logs to Stdout, so edit config/environments/production.rb properly:

logger           = ActiveSupport::Logger.new(STDOUT)
logger.formatter = config.log_formatter
config.logger    = ActiveSupport::TaggedLogging.new(logger)

Hint: maybe you need the Lograge gem too.

Do you have any logging related values set in <code>config/environments/production.rb</code> ? The default should be: <pre> config.log_level = :info RAILS_DEFAULT_LOGGER = Logger.new(‘log/production.log’) </pre> Make sure you haven’t used <code>SyslogLogger</code> as that will log to the OS syslog, not a separate Rails app log, and Dokku won’t find it.

If you need to dig around in the container itself to debug and make sure the log is actually being created, you can run: <pre> dokku run app_name ‘/bin/bash’ </pre>

Okay I fixed the rails c problem, but the logs debacle still remains unfortunately. Do you know of any other alternatives for generating logs I can use in the meantime?
