Sidekiq: Turn off logging

[kapso]

Is there a way to turn off the following logging in sidekiq?

https://github.com/mperham/sidekiq/wiki/Logging

[jc00ke]

You can just log to /dev/null or you could write your own logging class and make Sidekiq use it here

[mperham]

Sidekiq.configure_server do |config|
  config.logger = nil
end

Or just redirect to /dev/null on the command line.

[kapso]

Thanks a lot.

I tried this

Sidekiq.configure_server do |config|
  config.logger = nil
end

and got this error...

I added this Sidekiq::Logging.logger = nil to the initializer file and that worked.

[mperham]

Oops, we need Sidekiq.logger=

[kapso]

So Sidekiq.logger= inside the configure_server block? Right now I have Sidekiq::Logging.logger = nil outside the block, is that invalid?

[mperham]

Yes, that will work, it's just considered an undocumented internal API. The code block I gave will be the "right" way to do it.
