How can I set up logging for my Django app in Docker Compose?

You can set up logging in your Django app by configuring the logging settings in your Django settings file and ensuring that your Docker Compose service is set up to handle logs.

What specific settings do I need to add to my Django settings file?

You should define a LOGGING dictionary in your settings.py file. This includes handlers, formatters, and loggers.

Can you provide an example of a LOGGING configuration?

Sure! Here's a basic example:

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

How do I view the logs from my Docker container?

You can view the logs by using the command docker-compose logs <service_name> where <service_name> is the name of your Django service in the Docker Compose file.
