Django SQL Log Middleware

A middleware to write Django SQL queries and stats to a jsonl file. Makes analysis easier when you have log files that are hundreds of megabytes.

Inspired by the django-sqlprint-middleware project

Installation

pip install django-sql-log-middleware

Add it to the middleware section of settings.py:

MIDDLEWARE = [
    ...
    'django_sql_log_middleware.SqlLogMiddleware',
]

Output

Output will be written to the path specified in SQLLOG_LOG in the below format. Each line is a JSON object covering a single request. Time is the current unix time. Query time is measured in seconds.

{
        "path": "/path/to/api?abc=1234",
        "time": 1649301150,
        "queries": [
            {"sql": "select * from users", "time": 1.1234},
            {"sql": "select * from things", "time": 4.1234},
        ]
}
