How can I implement security logging in Django?

To implement security logging in Django, you can use the built-in logging framework. Start by configuring the logging settings in your settings.py file.

What specific settings do I need to add for security logging?

You should add a logger for security events, set the level to 'WARNING' or 'ERROR', and specify a file handler to store the logs.

Can you provide an example of the logging configuration?

Sure! Here's an example:

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

How can I test if my logging is working correctly?

You can test it by triggering a security event, such as a failed login attempt, and then checking the 'security.log' file for the logged message.
