📝 Django logger (my personal favourite format)

Personally, I do lot of programming using JAVA and log4j is my favourite package that I use on my project.. but sometimes I also use PYTHON and been using DJANGO framework because of it simplicity and easier to deploy.

When I use DJANGO, I still prefer to have logger on each of importance line of code (LoC) so I can trace back what actually happened when the code are executed.

So, let share with you my simple, minimal and favourite format for DJANGO logging

# File : <project>/settings.py
# Logging
LOGGING = {
    'version': 1,
    'disable_existing_loggers': False,
    'handlers': {
        'console': {
            'class': 'logging.StreamHandler',
            'formatter': 'verbose',
        },
    },
    'formatters': {
        'verbose': {
            'format': '{asctime} | [{levelname}] | {name} | {message} - {filename}:{lineno}@{funcName} | [{module}/{process:d}/{'
                      'thread:d}] - ({pathname})',
            'datefmt': '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S',
            'style': '{',
        },
    },
    'root': {
        'handlers': ['console'],
        'level': os.getenv('DJANGO_LOG_LEVEL', 'DEBUG')
    },
}

Then you use logger, you will getting something like below printed on console
