We need to integrate a logging system into the Django project to track and monitor events, errors, and general runtime behavior. The logging system will help identify and troubleshoot issues by capturing important events, such as database queries, view processing, security issues, and application errors.
Objectives:
Configure Logging in settings.py:
Add a logging configuration that will output logs to both the console and a file.
Configure different log levels (e.g., DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, ERROR, CRITICAL).
Ensure logs are generated for database queries, request-response cycles, errors, and security events.
Ensure the logging captures issues across the entire project (including all apps: users, profiles, projects, communications, dashboard).
Log Errors in Views:
Add logging to the views across different apps (e.g., users/views.py, profiles/views.py, projects/views.py, etc.).
Ensure that critical errors are logged appropriately in case of exceptions (e.g., try/except blocks).
Log Security Events:
Add logging in permissions.py (in users/) to capture security-related events, such as permission denials.
Capture Database Events:
Ensure that the logging system captures significant database operations for monitoring queries.
Steps to Implement:
Step 1: Modify settings.py to include the logging configuration:
Add a LOGGING dictionary in projectname/settings.py that configures loggers, handlers, and formatters.
Set up log rotation for file logging (e.g., using TimedRotatingFileHandler).

Step 2: Add logging to views in each app:
views.py
, import Python’slogging
module and add logging calls.For example:
Step 3: Add logging for permission issues in
permissions.py
:Example:
Step 4: Ensure logs are captured for database operations:

Logging Configuration:

that outputs logs to both console and file with appropriate log rotation.Log Implementation in Views:
users/views.py
,profiles/views.py
,projects/views.py
, etc. have logging for critical operations and exceptions.Log Implementation for Permissions:
