django-request-logging
Plug django-request-logging into your Django project and you will have intuitive and color coded request/response payload logging, for both web requests and API requests
Installing
$ pip install django-request-logging
Then add request_logging.middleware.LoggingMiddleware
to your MIDDLEWARE
.
For example:
MIDDLEWARE = (
...,
'request_logging.middleware.LoggingMiddleware',
...,
)
And configure logging in your app:
LOGGING = {
'version': 1,
'disable_existing_loggers': False,
'handlers': {
'console': {
'class': 'logging.StreamHandler',
},
},
'loggers': {
'django.request': {
'handlers': ['console'],
'level': 'DEBUG', # change debug level as appropiate
'propagate': False,
},
},
}
Details
Most of times you don't have to care about these details. But in case you need to dig deep:
- All logs are configured using logger name "django.request".
- If HTTP status code is between 400 - 599, URIs are logged at ERROR level, otherwise they are logged at INFO level.
- If HTTP status code is between 400 - 599, data are logged at ERROR level, otherwise they are logged at DEBUG level.
Django settings
You can customized some behaves of django-request-logging by following settings in Django settings.py
.
REQUEST_LOGGING_DATA_LOG_LEVEL
By default, data will log in DEBUG level, you can change to other valid level (Ex. logging.INFO) if need.
REQUEST_LOGGING_ENABLE_COLORIZE
If you want to log into log file instead of console, you may want to remove ANSI color. You can set REQUEST_LOGGING_ENABLE_COLORIZE=False
to disable colorize.
REQUEST_LOGGING_DISABLE_COLORIZE (Deprecated)
This legacy setting will still available, but you should't use this setting anymore. You should use REQUEST_LOGGING_ENABLE_COLORIZE
instead.
We keep this settings for backward compatibility.
REQUEST_LOGGING_MAX_BODY_LENGTH
By default, max length of a request body and a response content is cut to 50000 characters.
