Django Live Logging

Allow live editing of logging configuration in django projects and/or log to internal database table.

This project does not pretend to be ‘state of the art’, was written in few hours to help to troubleshoot applications where is not possible to access to log file easily. It allow you to temporarly enable database logging and change/add logging level and loggers using django admin interface.
