+Logging
+=======
+
+.. module:: django.utils.log
+ :synopsis: Logging tools for Django applications
+
+Django's logging module extends Python's builtin :mod:`logging`.
+
+Logging is configured as part of the general Django :func:`django.setup`
+function, so it's always available unless explicitly disabled.
+
+.. _default-logging-configuration:
+
+Django's default logging configuration
+======================================
+
+By default, Django uses Python's :ref:`logging.config.dictConfig format
+<logging-config-dictschema>`.
+
+Default logging conditions
+--------------------------
+
+The full set of default logging conditions are:
+
+When :setting:`DEBUG` is ``True``:
+
+* The ``django`` logger sends messages in the ``django`` hierarchy (except
+ ``django.server``) at the ``INFO`` level or higher to the console.
+
+When :setting:`DEBUG` is ``False``:
+
+* The ``django`` logger sends messages in the ``django`` hierarchy (except
+ ``django.server``) with ``ERROR`` or ``CRITICAL`` level to
+ :class:`AdminEmailHandler`.
+
+Independently of the value of :setting:`DEBUG`:
+
+* The :ref:`django-server-logger` logger sends messages at the ``INFO`` level
+ or higher to the console.
+
+All loggers except :ref:`django-server-logger` propagate logging to their
+parents, up to the root ``django`` logger. The ``console`` and ``mail_admins``
+handlers are attached to the root logger to provide the behavior described
+above.
+
+Default logging definition
+--------------------------
+
+The default configuration is available as ``django.utils.log.DEFAULT_LOGGING``
+and defined in :source:`django/utils/log.py`::
+
+ {
+ 'version': 1,
+ 'disable_existing_loggers': False,
+ 'filters': {

+
+Django logging extensions
+=========================
+
+Django provides a number of utilities to handle the particular requirements of
+logging in a web server environment.
+
+Loggers
+-------
+
+Django provides several built-in loggers.
+
+.. _django-logger:
+
+``django``
+~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The parent logger for messages in the ``django`` :ref:`named logger hierarchy
+<naming-loggers-hierarchy>`. Django does not post messages using this name.
+Instead, it uses one of the loggers below.
+
+.. _django-request-logger:
+
+``django.request``
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Log messages related to the handling of requests. 5XX responses are
+raised as ``ERROR`` messages; 4XX responses are raised as ``WARNING``
+messages. Requests that are logged to the ``django.security`` logger aren't
+logged to ``django.request``.
+
+Messages to this logger have the following extra context:
+
+* ``status_code``: The HTTP response code associated with the request.
+
+* ``request``: The request object that generated the logging message.
+
+.. _django-server-logger:
+
+``django.server``
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Log messages related to the handling of requests received by the server invoked
+by the :djadmin:`runserver` command. HTTP 5XX responses are logged as ``ERROR``
+messages, 4XX responses are logged as ``WARNING`` messages, and everything else
+is logged as ``INFO``.
+
+Messages to this logger have the following extra context:
+
+* ``status_code``: The HTTP response code associated with the request.
+
+* ``request``: The request object that generated the logging message.
+
+.. _django-template-logger:
+
+``django.template``
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Log messages related to the rendering of templates.
+
+* Missing context variables are logged as ``DEBUG`` messages.
+
+.. _django-db-logger:
+
+``django.db.backends``
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Messages relating to the interaction of code with the database. For example,
+every application-level SQL statement executed by a request is logged at the
+``DEBUG`` level to this logger.
+
+Messages to this logger have the following extra context:
+
+* ``duration``: The time taken to execute the SQL statement.
+* ``sql``: The SQL statement that was executed.
+* ``params``: The parameters that were used in the SQL call.
+
+For performance reasons, SQL logging is only enabled when
+``settings.DEBUG`` is set to ``True``, regardless of the logging
+level or handlers that are installed.
+
+This logging does not include framework-level initialization (e.g.
+``SET TIMEZONE``) or transaction management queries (e.g. ``BEGIN``,
+``COMMIT``, and ``ROLLBACK``). Turn on query logging in your database if you
+wish to view all database queries.
+
+.. _django-security-logger:
+
+``django.security.*``
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The security loggers will receive messages on any occurrence of
+:exc:`~django.core.exceptions.SuspiciousOperation` and other security-related
+errors. There is a sub-logger for each subtype of security error, including all
+``SuspiciousOperation``\s. The level of the log event depends on where the
+exception is handled. Most occurrences are logged as a warning, while
+any ``SuspiciousOperation`` that reaches the WSGI handler will be logged as an
+error. For example, when an HTTP ``Host`` header is included in a request from
+a client that does not match :setting:`ALLOWED_HOSTS`, Django will return a 400
+response, and an error message will be logged to the
+``django.security.DisallowedHost`` logger.
+
+These log events will reach the ``django`` logger by default, which mails error
+events to admins when ``DEBUG=False``. Requests resulting in a 400 response due
+to a ``SuspiciousOperation`` will not be logged to the ``django.request``
+logger, but only to the ``django.security`` logger.
+
+To silence a particular type of ``SuspiciousOperation``, you can override that
+specific logger following this example::
+
+ 'handlers': {
+ 'null': {
+ 'class': 'logging.NullHandler',
+ },
+ },
+ 'loggers': {
+ 'django.security.DisallowedHost': {
+ 'handlers': ['null'],
+ 'propagate': False,
+ },
+ },
+
+Other ``django.security`` loggers not based on ``SuspiciousOperation`` are:
+
+* ``django.security.csrf``: For :ref:`CSRF failures <csrf-rejected-requests>`.
+
+``django.db.backends.schema``
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Logs the SQL queries that are executed during schema changes to the database by
+the :doc:`migrations framework </topics/migrations>`. Note that it won't log the
+queries executed by :class:`~django.db.migrations.operations.RunPython`.
+Messages to this logger have ``params`` and ``sql`` in their extra context (but
+unlike ``django.db.backends``, not duration). The values have the same meaning
+as explained in :ref:`django-db-logger`.
+
+Handlers
+--------
+
+Django provides one log handler in addition to those provided by the
+Python logging module.
+
+.. class:: AdminEmailHandler(include_html=False, email_backend=None, reporter_class=None)
+
+ This handler sends an email to the site :setting:`ADMINS` for each log
+ message it receives.
+
+ If the log record contains a ``request`` attribute, the full details
+ of the request will be included in the email. The email subject will
+ include the phrase "internal IP" if the client's IP address is in the
+ :setting:`INTERNAL_IPS` setting; if not, it will include "EXTERNAL IP".
+
+ If the log record contains stack trace information, that stack
+ trace will be included in the email.
+
+ The ``include_html`` argument of ``AdminEmailHandler`` is used to
+ control whether the traceback email includes an HTML attachment
+ containing the full content of the debug Web page that would have been
+ produced if :setting:`DEBUG` were ``True``. To set this value in your
+ configuration, include it in the handler definition for
+ ``django.utils.log.AdminEmailHandler``, like this::
+
+ 'handlers': {
+ 'mail_admins': {
+ 'level': 'ERROR',
+ 'class': 'django.utils.log.AdminEmailHandler',
+ 'include_html': True,
+ },
+ },
+
+ Be aware of the :ref:`security implications of logging
+ <logging-security-implications>` when using the ``AdminEmailHandler``.
+
+ By setting the ``email_backend`` argument of ``AdminEmailHandler``, the
+ :ref:`email backend <topic-email-backends>` that is being used by the
+ handler can be overridden, like this::
+
+ 'handlers': {
+ 'mail_admins': {
+ 'level': 'ERROR',
+ 'class': 'django.utils.log.AdminEmailHandler',
+ 'email_backend': 'django.core.mail.backends.filebased.EmailBackend',
+ },
+ },
+
+ By default, an instance of the email backend specified in
+ :setting:`EMAIL_BACKEND` will be used.
+
+ The ``reporter_class`` argument of ``AdminEmailHandler`` allows providing
+ an ``django.views.debug.ExceptionReporter`` subclass to customize the
+ traceback text sent in the email body. You provide a string import path to
+ the class you wish to use, like this::
+
+ 'handlers': {
+ 'mail_admins': {
+ 'level': 'ERROR',
+ 'class': 'django.utils.log.AdminEmailHandler',
+ 'include_html': True,
+ 'reporter_class': 'somepackage.error_reporter.CustomErrorReporter',
+ },
+ },
+
+ .. method:: send_mail(subject, message, *args, **kwargs)
+
+ Sends emails to admin users. To customize this behavior, you can
+ subclass the :class:`~django.utils.log.AdminEmailHandler` class and
+ override this method.
+
+Filters
+-------
+
+Django provides some log filters in addition to those provided by the Python
+logging module.
+
+.. class:: CallbackFilter(callback)
+
+ This filter accepts a callback function (which should accept a single
+ argument, the record to be logged), and calls it for each record that
+ passes through the filter. Handling of that record will not proceed if the
+ callback returns False.
+
+ For instance, to filter out :exc:`~django.http.UnreadablePostError`
+ (raised when a user cancels an upload) from the admin emails, you would
+ create a filter function::
+
+ from django.http import UnreadablePostError
+
+ def skip_unreadable_post(record):
+ if record.exc_info:
+ exc_type, exc_value = record.exc_info[:2]
+ if isinstance(exc_value, UnreadablePostError):
+ return False
+ return True
+
+ and then add it to your logging config::
+
+ 'filters': {
+ 'skip_unreadable_posts': {
+ '()': 'django.utils.log.CallbackFilter',
+ 'callback': skip_unreadable_post,
+ },
+ },
+ 'handlers': {
+ 'mail_admins': {
+ 'level': 'ERROR',
+ 'filters': ['skip_unreadable_posts'],
+ 'class': 'django.utils.log.AdminEmailHandler',
+ },
+ },
+
+.. class:: RequireDebugFalse()
+
+ This filter will only pass on records when settings.DEBUG is False.
+
+ This filter is used as follows in the default :setting:`LOGGING`
+ configuration to ensure that the :class:`AdminEmailHandler` only sends
+ error emails to admins when :setting:`DEBUG` is ``False``::
+
+ 'filters': {
+ 'require_debug_false': {
+ '()': 'django.utils.log.RequireDebugFalse',
+ },
+ },
+ 'handlers': {
+ 'mail_admins': {
+ 'level': 'ERROR',
+ 'filters': ['require_debug_false'],
+ 'class': 'django.utils.log.AdminEmailHandler',
+ },
+ },
+
+.. class:: RequireDebugTrue()
+
+ This filter is similar to :class:`RequireDebugFalse`, except that records are
+ passed only when :setting:`DEBUG` is ``True``.

-Handlers
---------
-
-Django provides one log handler in addition to those provided by the
-Python logging module.
-
-.. class:: AdminEmailHandler(include_html=False, email_backend=None, reporter_class=None)
-
- This handler sends an email to the site :setting:`ADMINS` for each log
- message it receives.
-
- If the log record contains a ``request`` attribute, the full details
- of the request will be included in the email. The email subject will
- include the phrase "internal IP" if the client's IP address is in the
- :setting:`INTERNAL_IPS` setting; if not, it will include "EXTERNAL IP".
-
- If the log record contains stack trace information, that stack
- trace will be included in the email.
-
- The ``include_html`` argument of ``AdminEmailHandler`` is used to
- control whether the traceback email includes an HTML attachment
- containing the full content of the debug Web page that would have been
- produced if :setting:`DEBUG` were ``True``. To set this value in your
- configuration, include it in the handler definition for
- ``django.utils.log.AdminEmailHandler``, like this::
-
- 'handlers': {
- 'mail_admins': {
- 'level': 'ERROR',
- 'class': 'django.utils.log.AdminEmailHandler',
- 'include_html': True,
- }
- },
-
- Be aware of the :ref:`security implications of logging
- <logging-security-implications>` when using the ``AdminEmailHandler``.
-
- By setting the ``email_backend`` argument of ``AdminEmailHandler``, the
- :ref:`email backend <topic-email-backends>` that is being used by the
- handler can be overridden, like this::
-
- 'handlers': {
- 'mail_admins': {
- 'level': 'ERROR',
- 'class': 'django.utils.log.AdminEmailHandler',
- 'email_backend': 'django.core.mail.backends.filebased.EmailBackend',
- }
- },
-
- By default, an instance of the email backend specified in
- :setting:`EMAIL_BACKEND` will be used.
-
- The ``reporter_class`` argument of ``AdminEmailHandler`` allows providing
- an ``django.views.debug.ExceptionReporter`` subclass to customize the
- traceback text sent in the email body. You provide a string import path to
- the class you wish to use, like this::
-
- 'handlers': {
- 'mail_admins': {
- 'level': 'ERROR',
- 'class': 'django.utils.log.AdminEmailHandler',
- 'include_html': True,
- 'reporter_class': 'somepackage.error_reporter.CustomErrorReporter'
- }
- },
-
- .. method:: send_mail(subject, message, *args, **kwargs)
-
- Sends emails to admin users. To customize this behavior, you can
- subclass the :class:`~django.utils.log.AdminEmailHandler` class and
- override this method.
-
-Filters
--------
-
-Django provides some log filters in addition to those provided by the Python
-logging module.
-
-.. class:: CallbackFilter(callback)
-
- This filter accepts a callback function (which should accept a single
- argument, the record to be logged), and calls it for each record that
- passes through the filter. Handling of that record will not proceed if the
- callback returns False.
-
- For instance, to filter out :exc:`~django.http.UnreadablePostError`
- (raised when a user cancels an upload) from the admin emails, you would
- create a filter function::
-
- from django.http import UnreadablePostError
-
- def skip_unreadable_post(record):
- if record.exc_info:
- exc_type, exc_value = record.exc_info[:2]
- if isinstance(exc_value, UnreadablePostError):
- return False
- return True
-
- and then add it to your logging config::
-
- 'filters': {
- 'skip_unreadable_posts': {
- '()': 'django.utils.log.CallbackFilter',
- 'callback': skip_unreadable_post,
- }
- },
- 'handlers': {
- 'mail_admins': {
- 'level': 'ERROR',
- 'filters': ['skip_unreadable_posts'],
- 'class': 'django.utils.log.AdminEmailHandler'
- }
- },
-
-.. class:: RequireDebugFalse()
-
- This filter will only pass on records when settings.DEBUG is False.
-
- This filter is used as follows in the default :setting:`LOGGING`
- configuration to ensure that the :class:`AdminEmailHandler` only sends
- error emails to admins when :setting:`DEBUG` is ``False``::
-
- 'filters': {
- 'require_debug_false': {
- '()': 'django.utils.log.RequireDebugFalse',
- }
- },
- 'handlers': {
- 'mail_admins': {
- 'level': 'ERROR',
- 'filters': ['require_debug_false'],
- 'class': 'django.utils.log.AdminEmailHandler'
- }
- },
-
-.. class:: RequireDebugTrue()
-
- This filter is similar to :class:`RequireDebugFalse`, except that records are
- passed only when :setting:`DEBUG` is ``True``.
-
-.. _default-logging-configuration:
-
-Django's default logging configuration
-======================================
-
-By default, Django configures the following logging:
-
-When :setting:`DEBUG` is ``True``:
-
-* The ``django`` logger sends messages in the ``django`` hierarchy (except
- ``django.server``) at the ``INFO`` level or higher to the console.
-
-When :setting:`DEBUG` is ``False``:
-
-* The ``django`` logger sends messages in the ``django`` hierarchy (except
- ``django.server``) with ``ERROR`` or ``CRITICAL`` level to
- :class:`AdminEmailHandler`.
-
-Independent of the value of :setting:`DEBUG`:
-
-* The :ref:`django-server-logger` logger sends messages at the ``INFO`` level
- or higher to the console.
-
-All loggers except :ref:`django-server-logger` propagate logging to their
-parents, up to the root ``django`` logger. The ``console`` and ``mail_admins``
-handlers are attached to the root logger to provide the behavior described
-above.
-
-See also :ref:`Configuring logging <configuring-logging>` to learn how you can
