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.

A no_logging decorator is included for views with sensitive data.

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.
