Hi Tom,

Not sure if it applies to your specific case, but whenever I come
across the need to quiet the logging activity for some particular
verbose-under-normal-logging activity process that I'm really only
concerned about logging-wise only if it fails, ... I usually just
temporarily up the log-level for the specific handling of that
process.  Something like:

  # in the controller:
  ...
  bak_log_level = logger.level
  begin
    logger.level = Logger::ERROR
    # do some stuff ...
    ...
  ensure
    logger.level = bak_log_level
  end
  ...

Jeff
