How do I set up logging and analytics in my Ruby application?

To set up logging in your Ruby application, you can use the built-in Logger class. For analytics, consider integrating tools like Google Analytics or Mixpanel.

Can you show me a code example for using the Logger class?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

require 'logger'

logger = Logger.new('application.log')
logger.info('This is an info message')
logger.error('This is an error message')

What about integrating Google Analytics?

For Google Analytics, you can use the google-analytics gem. First, add it to your Gemfile:

gem 'google-analytics'

Then, configure it with your tracking ID.

Are there any best practices for logging?

Yes! Some best practices include logging at appropriate levels (info, warn, error), avoiding sensitive data, and rotating log files.
