Ruby logging on multiple servers with Active Support logger

I am using Rails 3.2.12 / Ruby 1.9.3 and am trying to configure several logs so that I can log both files and the graylog server we created. I have a close use of this soltuion, but with the Gelf logger - http://railsware.com/blog/2014/08/07/rails-logging-into-several-backends/

So, I returned the port ActiveSupport::Loggerto my config / initializers and configured the gelf logger as below

(development.rb)

gelf_logger = GELF::Logger.new("greylogserver", 12201, "WAN", { :host => 'host', :facility => "railslog"})
Rails.logger.extend(ActiveSupport::Logger.broadcast(gelf_logger))

however i find that i only get errors registered on graylog server

ArgumentError: short_message is missing. Options version, short_message and host must be set.

and when I debug the code, I see that the arguments passed to the Gelf Logger method add(below) always have the 1st element as a level, the second as zero, and the third contains a message. This is confusing because the second argument should be a message and the third should be predictive. The only solution I came up with is to change the Gem-Rb Gem (as shown below) by changing the 6th line to use args [1] for the message, then it works, however it is not perfect, and there should be a way to fix it in my code.

  def add(level, *args)
    raise ArgumentError.new('Wrong arguments.') unless (0..2).include?(args.count)

    # Ruby Logger author is a maniac.
    message, progname = if args.count == 2
                          [args[1], args[1]]
                        elsif args.count == 0
                          [yield, default_options['facility']]
                        elsif block_given?
                          [yield, args[0]]
                        else
                          [args[0], default_options['facility']]
                        end
....

Just to note, when I directly install my Rails registrar to use the Gelf registrar in development.rb, then it works fine

Rails.logger = GELF::Logger.new("greylogserver", 12201, "WAN", { :host => 'host', :facility => "railslog"})
