Logging requests to django-rest-framework

Question

For debugging purposes, I would like to use Django\'s logging mechanism to log each and every incoming request when it \"arrives\" at django-rest-framework\'s doorstep.

Answer 1

Made a custom middleware:

import logging
import time
logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)

class APILogMiddleware:
    def __init__(self, get_response):
        self.get_response = get_response
    
    def __call__(self, request):
        start_time = time.time()
        response = self.get_response(request)
        duration = time.time() - start_time
        response_ms = duration * 1000
        user = str(getattr(request, 'user', ''))
        method = str(getattr(request, 'method', '')).upper()
        status_code = str(getattr(response, 'status_code', ''))
        request_path = str(getattr(request, 'path', ''))
        if status_code == '200' and response_ms > 2000:
            logger.info({
                         "message": "*****SLOW RESPONSE****",
                         "path": request_path,
                         "response_time": str(response_ms) + " ms",
                         "method": method,
                         "user": user,
                         "status_code": status_code
                         })
        return response

This logs all APIs which takes greater than 2 seconds to return response. Just add the full path to MIDDLEWARE = ["path.to.APILogMiddleware"] in your settings.py
