JSERRORLOGGING_MAIL_TO

Default: settings.MANAGERS

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.

    # ...
    'loggers': {

        'jserror': {
            'handlers': ['console', 'mail_admins'],
            'level': 'INFO',
            'filters': ['special']
        },

You can log your custom data.

</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
};
