Conditional logging per model?

[wiegand]

Does Logidze offer the ability to conditionally enable logging in a similar manner to how the Audited gem does?:

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  audited if: :active?

  def active?
    last_login > 6.months.ago
  end
end

For my specific case, I don't need the conditional logic to be in the app. My model is using Rails's STI, so I have a type column which, if it matches a particular string, I would like to NOT log its data. Thank you!

Since Logidze operates at the database-level, we cannot provide a similar model-backed feature. In your case, you may consider changing the trigger code a bit to include the type filter:

CREATE TRIGGER logidze_on_posts
BEFORE UPDATE OR INSERT ON posts FOR EACH ROW
WHEN (coalesce(current_setting('logidze.disabled', true), '') <> 'on') AND
  (NEW.type = 'audited_type')
EXECUTE PROCEDURE logidze_logger(<logidze params>);

Awesome. Thank you. I will work on adding this to our codebase.
