drf-tracking-logger 1.9.5

Log DRF requests on specified logger

DRF Request logger

A spinoff of the drf-tracking to forward the logging to the standard output instead of saving it in the database

Installation

pip install drf-tracking-logger

Usage

To use a specific logger name, set an environment variable TRACKING LOGGER.

The package provides a mixin LoggingMixin which you can include to your class based views to log the requests.

Example,

from rest_framework.generics import GenericAPIView
from rest_framework.mixins import ListModelMixin
from drf_tracking_logger.mixins import LoggingMixin

class AnyRandomView(LoggingMixin, ListModelMixin, GenericAPIView):
    ...

Options

• logging_methods : This attribute can used to strip down the request methods which needs to be logged. It logs all the methods by default.
• should_log : This method can be used to customize the logic to determine the logging.
• handle_log : You can override this method to change the logging behavior. It sends the log to the configured logger by default.
• sensitive_fields : By default, any key name which has any of 'key', 'secret', 'password', 'signature' in its name, will get its value hidden. But you can extend this list by adding more using this attribute.
