This option is default enabled. When you don’t need to this option, JSERRORLOGGING_ENABLE_MODEL set to False.

Notify by Email

You can send results of logging to Email.

This option is default enabled. When you don’t need to this option, JSERRORLOGGING_ENABLE_MAIL set to False.

JSERRORLOGGING_MAIL_TO

Default: settings.ADMINS

You can set the custom recipients for notification:

JSERRORLOGGING_MAIL_TO = (
    ('someone', 'someone@example.com'),
)
JSERRORLOGGING_MAIL_NOTIFY_INTERVAL

Default: 3600

When the same errors occurred, you can stop notification for the duration of this setting (seconds).

You can use Python’s builtin logger.

This option is default disabled. When you need to this option, JSERRORLOGGING_ENABLE_LOGGER set to True. And JSERRORLOGGING_LOGGER_NAME set to your custom logger name.

LOGGING = {
    # ...
    'loggers': {
        # ...
        'jserror': {
            'handlers': ['console', 'mail_admins'],
            'level': 'INFO',
            'filters': ['special']
        },
        # ...

Logging additional data

You can log your custom data.

For example, Django JS Error Logging has another template for the following additional data.

  • django.contrib.auth.User.id

When you want to log user_id and session_key, set the following templatetag:

<head>

{% include "jserrorlogging/includes/script_with_user.html" %}
# ...
</head>

If you want to log another data, Create a template that extends jserrorlogging/includes/script.html and edit meta_data block.

Example (path_to_your_template_dir/script_with_more_data.html):

{% extends "jserrorlogging/includes/script.html" %}
{% block meta_data %}
djjserr.meta = {
    username: '{{ user.username }}',
    always_true: true
};
{% endblock %}
