Custom Logging Best Practices in Ruby

Question

What are best practices for managing custom logging in Ruby? Should I be monkeypatching logger to do what I want? Or extending from it? Or delegating? What's the rubyish way? I'm sick of custom hacks for this; I'd like something cleaner, and ideally more elegant.
