Django logging to console

Question

I\'m trying to set up a logger that will log to the console (I want this because I\'m using Heroku with Papertrails (Heroku\'s logging addon) and stuff written to the consol

Answer 1

I am writing this for easy understanding dummies like me.

In settings.py

LOGGING = {
    'version': 1,
    'disable_existing_loggers': False,
    'handlers': {
        'console': {
            'class': 'logging.StreamHandler',
        },
    },
    'loggers': {
        'app_api': {
            'handlers': ['console'],
            'level': 'INFO',
        },
    },
    }

Somewhere in your application views

import logging
logger = logging.getLogger('app_api') #from LOGGING.loggers in settings.py

try:
    one = 1/0
except Exception as e:
    logger.error(e)
