Add logging to project

[teresantns]

Logging allows us to keep a record on data input, processes, and results in a program, so we can monitor the application.

We will use the built-in python logging library in connection to django to implement some basic logging our existing API. We will also use the python-json-logger library to format our loggers.

• [x] Research about logging with Python and Django
• [x] Install python-json-logger
• [x] Add logging configuration to settings.py file

Logging configuration:

• Use the django.requests extension to log the API requests
• Log warning, info and error to a file
• Log debug into another file or console

I also used Gigek's django-drf-playground project to help me guide the best way to configure the logging.

Currently the logging file is being displayed in the github repository, just for example sake. To change this, simply undo this commit i.e., add the .log extension to the gitignore file.

Now we have a file to track warning and critical logs on the API requests, that uses the django.request extension, and another one to track the info logs we will put on the custom views of our model.
