README help - how to integrate into a rails app

[drnic]

Thanks for starting this project. It's getting late on Day 1 of me playing with logstash, so sorry if this is a silly question - how do I add this into my rails app & my logstash config file? Or do I need to rebuild logstash with these extra patterns?

See the patterns_dir option in http://www.logstash.net/docs/1.1.1/filters/grok#setting_patterns_dir.
No special naming required, and I think any patterns with the same name as the default patterns will override the default.
