option for silencing logging for heartbeats

[jlvallelonga]

In development, and possible other environments, it's sometimes nice to not see the heartbeat logging. This adds an option to silence the logging for heartbeats. It's very similar to the "silence_polling" option.

Usage:

  config.solid_queue.silence_heartbeats = true

Thanks @jlvallelonga! However, I was hoping we could get #210 done instead of having a bunch of different options to silence different parts 😅

[jlvallelonga]

Yeah I was thinking about that a bit when I was doing this. Makes sense :)

For me, silence_polling and silence_heartbeat_logging address different concerns. In that sense, we can keep them as two separate settings. Any chance we can merge this? @rosa

In the meantime, I've monkeypatched this PR:

# /config/initializers/solid_queue.rb

module SilenceHeartbeat
  def heartbeat
    ActiveRecord::Base.logger.silence do
      # Clear any previous changes before locking, for example, in case a previous heartbeat
      # failed because of a DB issue (with SQLite depending on configuration, a BusyException
      # is not rare) and we still have the unpersisted value
      restore_attributes
      with_lock { touch(:last_heartbeat_at) }
    end
  end
end

Rails.application.config.to_prepare do
  SolidQueue::Process.prepend(SilenceHeartbeat) unless Rails.env.production?
end

Many tnx @jlvallelonga

That work's great Jean-Baptiste to silence the heartbeat logging that happens every minute.

You can also significantly reduce the 5-minute "Prune dead processes" logs by adding to config/environments/development.rb something like

config.solid_queue.process_alive_threshold = 1.day

But I've found that bad things happen if you try to get rid if the 10-minute "Unblock jobs" logging by any setting of concurrency_maintenance_interval in config/queue.yml.

Whats holding up this merge?

@yelvert, basically #389 (comment)

Hey everyone! In the end, I got a related change merged into a Rails to silence all those queries in rails/rails#56899. You just need to set sql_notifications: false in the database configuration for Solid Queue. I think this is a better option to silence everything, so I'm going to close this one and document this in the README.
