Silence the ready message

[csuhta]

I have this config for a Rails app and bugsnag 3.0.0:

Bugsnag.configure do |config|
  config.api_key = ENV.fetch("BUGSNAG_API_KEY")
  config.app_type = "rails"
  config.notify_release_stages = ["production"]
  config.send_environment = true
  config.use_ssl = true
end

Bugsnag prints this message for everything the Rails app does (boot, rake, rails, migrations, test suite, etc):

** [Bugsnag] Bugsnag exception handler 3.0.0 ready, api_key=[snip]

We want bug capture for production rake tasks, but we don't want this message in the logs every single time the Rails app initializes, especially since it contains the API key. Is there some way to silence this message?

Thanks for the report, @csuhta. I updated the ready message to remove the API key. The message is displayed at the info log level, could the logging level potentially be turned up for running tests, etc?

Would you explain the proper way to turn up the logging level or silence Bugsnag when BUGSNAG_API_KEY is set in the environment?

The gem auto-configures itself from the environment when it gets require-ed. You don't have an opportunity to silence it from a Rails initializer.

Here's an example:

# config/initializers/bugsnag.rb
puts "Bugsnag initializer reached"
Bugsnag.configure do |config|
  config.logger = Logger.new("/dev/null")
  config.api_key = ENV.fetch("BUGSNAG_API_KEY")
  config.app_type = "rails"
  config.notify_release_stages = ["production"]
  config.send_environment = true
  config.use_ssl = true
end

The message gets logged before you can configure Bugsnag:

$ rails c
** [Bugsnag] Bugsnag exception handler 5.0.0 ready
Bugsnag initializer reached
