How can I log errors in Django?

You can use Django's built-in logging framework. First, configure the logging settings in your settings.py file.

What settings do I need to add for error logging?

You need to set up a logger, handler, and formatter in the LOGGING dictionary. For example, you can log errors to a file.

Can you show me a sample configuration?

Sure! Here's a basic example:

LOGGING = {
    'version': 1,
    'disable_existing_loggers': False,
    'handlers': {
        'file': {
            'level': 'ERROR',
            'class': 'logging.FileHandler',
            'filename': 'django_errors.log',
        },
    },
    'loggers': {
        'django': {
            'handlers': ['file'],
            'level': 'ERROR',
            'propagate': True,
        },
    },
}

How do I test if the logging works?

You can trigger an error in your views and check if it gets logged in the specified file.
