Q:

What does this line of my Log mean?

When sending a 'Post' request, I get this in my Log.
Processing by SubgroupsController#add_timespan as */*
What does it mean?

A:

Log tells the following:
Controller_name#action_name as respond Mime Type
Here is a list of default Rails Mime Types:
"*/*"                      => :all
"text/plain"               => :text
"text/html"                => :html 
"application/xhtml+xml"    => :html
"text/javascript"          => :js 
"application/javascript"   => :js 
"application/x-javascript" => :js 
"text/calendar"            => :ics   
"text/csv"                 => :csv   
"application/xml"          => :xml 
"text/xml"                 => :xml 
"application/x-xml"        => :xml 
"text/yaml"                => :yaml
