Configuration

• In settings.py set-up the logging:

  LOGGING = {
      'version': 1,
      'disable_existing_loggers': True,
      'formatters': {
          'standard': {
              'format': '%(asctime)s [%(levelname)s] %(name)s: %(message)s'
          },
      },
      'handlers': {

  }
  

• In your python (view) code, log as normal e.g:

  import logging
  
  logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)
  
  class Temp(...):
  
      def something(self):
          logger.error('Hello and Goodbye')
