django-admin-logs 1.5.0

View, delete or disable Django admin log entries.

Log entries are automatically created by the Django framework whenever a user adds, changes or deletes objects through the admin interface.

Django Admin Logs is a package that allows you to either view the admin log entries from within the admin interface, or to disable them entirely.

Requirements

• Python 3.8+

• Django 4.2+

Installation

Install the package from PyPI:

pip install django-admin-logs

Then add it to your INSTALLED_APPS in the settings file:

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    ...
    'django_admin_logs',
    ...
)

Configuration

By default, Django Admin Logs enables log entries to be viewed from within the admin interface but does not allow them to be deleted. Either of these options can be configured by adding the following to your settings file.

DJANGO_ADMIN_LOGS_DELETABLE = True

This allows a superuser, or any staff user with the delete_logentry permission, to delete log entries from within the admin interface.

DJANGO_ADMIN_LOGS_ENABLED = False

This disables admin log entries so that they are no longer created by the Django framework or viewable from within the admin interface.

By default, Django creates log entries with the message “No fields changed” when an unchanged object is saved in the admin interface. To prevent such log entries from being created use the following setting:

DJANGO_ADMIN_LOGS_IGNORE_UNCHANGED = True
