Log admin page is not usable

[vmihailenco]

Default log page in Django admin is not usable, because it has size > 3mb. The reason behind this is that Django displays select with all options for the following foreign key:

summary = models.ForeignKey(LogSummary, related_name='logs',
                            blank=True, null=True, db_index=True)

I have a lot of logs in DB so displaying the whole list of possible summaries is very expensive in terms of resources.

• Huge log page size: https://github.com/cbjadwani/django-logbook/issues/1
• django-logbook does not properly format log message for logger.exception('bla-bla')
• built-in filter to display only logs with specified level. Probably other filters too.

• I think django-logbook should just provide DjangoOrmHandler, but not hardcore pre-configured handlers. Then to configure logging I should create few named loggers as it is done with standard logging:

  import logbook from django_logbook import DjangoOrmHandler, DjangoAdminEmailHandler

  logger = logbook.get_logger('django.request') logger.add_handler(DjangoOrmHandler()) logger.add_handler(DjangoAdminEmailHandler())

Actually code above is just guess, I am not sure if logbook allow this, but it looks like the right way to integrate Django and logbook.

• If named loggers are possible, than celery tasks logging should be trivial.
