Information

django-logbook is logbook plugin for Django Web Framework which adds new logging facilities to it.

Installation

Add next lines to your settings.py:

import logging
import logbook

LOG_LEVEL_DB_HANDLER = logbook.INFO
LOG_LEVEL_MAIL_HANDLER = logbook.ERROR
LOG_LEVEL_LOGGING_GLOBAL = logging.ERROR

Don't forget to add 'django_logbook' to INSTALLED_APPS tuple.

Run:

python manage.py syncdb

Or if you use south run:

python manage.py migrate

How to use

For example we have file app/views.py, add next lines into it:

import logbook
log = logbook.Logger('app.views')

After this you can log anything you want to django-logbook database:

log.error("Auth failed")
log.info("Have a nice day")

But if you used logging before like that:

import logging

logging.error("Auth failed")
logging.info("Have a nice day")

All you need is just to remove "import logging" and add next lines:

import logbook
logging = logbook.Logger('app.views')

This will work because logbook was made to be compatible with logging library.
