Dj-Log-Config-Helper

Centralize management of simple log configuration across Django projects

The dj_log_config_helper.configure_installed_apps_logger method configures either a console or file logger with a list of all the top-level app module packages being installed in INSTALLED_APPS. Use this method in your settings.py file.

Installation

Simply run the following from within a virtualenv:

$ pip install git+https://github.com/Harvard-University-iCommons/dj-log-config-helper

Running the tests

Via make:

$ make test

Usage

Import the log config function in settings.py:

from dj_log_config_helper import configure_installed_apps_logger

Disable Django's default logging:

LOGGING_CONFIG = None

At the end of settings.py configure a simple console logger:

configure_installed_apps_logger(logging.INFO)

Or, configure a verbose file logger:

configure_installed_apps_logger(logging.INFO, verbose=True, filename='django-project.log')

You can also log additional packages that are not part of INSTALLED_APPS:

configure_installed_apps_logger(logging.INFO, additional_packages=['py.warnings'])
