Django: Setup an efficient logging system for a website in production

问题

Alright so the development phase is over and now my website is live in prod. However, I have not set up the logging. My website is located in /var/www/html dir. Ideally I would like to have Django logging in /var/log/django but that would require permissions.

1. Is it standard practice to keep Django logs in /var/log/?
2. What type of permissions I need for the logs to store in /var/log.
3. I just want logs for last 2 days and today, rest can automatically be removed if I can.

Setup: RHEL7, Apache2.4, python3.5, Django 1.10, mod_wsgi, mySQL

1. No its not standard. Add the following statements to settings.py and modify the log file path to your needs:

   LOGGING = {
       'version': 1,
       'disable_existing_loggers': False,
       'handlers': {
           'file': {
               'level': 'DEBUG',
               'class': 'logging.FileHandler',
               'filename': '/path/to/django/debug.log',
           },
       },
       'loggers': {
           'django': {
               'handlers': ['file'],
               'level': 'DEBUG',
               'propagate': True,
           },
       },
   }
   

2. Refer this for setting up suitable permissions for log files: Permission Denied when writing log file

3. You will have to use logrotate otherwise make use of kafka server to maintain logs.
