How can I log security events in Django REST Framework?

You can log security events in Django REST Framework by using Django's built-in logging framework. You can configure it in your settings.py file.

What specific events should I log for security?

You should log events like user logins, failed login attempts, password changes, and any access to sensitive data.

Can you show me an example of how to set this up?

Sure! In your settings.py, you can add a logger for security events like this:

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

How do I ensure that sensitive information is not logged?

You can filter out sensitive information by customizing your logging formatters and using middleware to sanitize logs before they are written.
