How do I configure logging in Django?

To configure logging in Django, you need to set up the LOGGING dictionary in your settings.py file.

What are the key components I need to include in the LOGGING dictionary?

The key components include 'version', 'disable_existing_loggers', 'formatters', 'handlers', and 'loggers'.

Can you give me an example of a basic logging configuration?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

LOGGING = {
    'version': 1,
    'disable_existing_loggers': False,
    'formatters': {
        'simple': {
            'format': '%(levelname)s %(message)s'
        },
    },
    'handlers': {
        'console': {
            'class': 'logging.StreamHandler',
            'formatter': 'simple',
        },
    },
    'loggers': {
        'django': {
            'handlers': ['console'],
            'level': 'DEBUG',
        },
    },
}

How can I log messages to a file instead of the console?

You can change the handler to a FileHandler and specify the filename in the configuration.
