How can I use debugging filters in Django?

You can use debugging filters in Django by utilizing the built-in logging framework. This allows you to filter log messages based on severity levels.

Can you show me an example of setting up a filter?

Sure! You can set up a filter in your settings.py like this:

LOGGING = {
    'version': 1,
    'disable_existing_loggers': False,
    'filters': {
        'require_debug_true': {
            '()': 'django.utils.log.RequireDebugTrue',
        },
    },
    'handlers': {
        'console': {
            'class': 'logging.StreamHandler',
            'filters': ['require_debug_true'],
        },
    },
    'loggers': {
        'django': {
            'handlers': ['console'],
            'level': 'DEBUG',
        },
    },
}

What does the 'require_debug_true' filter do?

The 'require_debug_true' filter ensures that log messages are only output when the DEBUG setting is set to True, helping to avoid clutter in production.

Are there other types of filters I can use?

Yes, you can create custom filters to log messages based on specific criteria, such as user actions or request paths.
