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.

    # ...
    'loggers': {

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

You can log your custom data.

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

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
};
