How can I log errors in Django Rest Framework?

You can log errors in Django Rest Framework by using Python's built-in logging module. First, configure the logging settings in your settings.py file.

What settings do I need to configure for logging?

You need to set up a LOGGING dictionary in your settings.py. Specify the log level, handlers, and formatters.

Can you provide an example of the LOGGING configuration?

Sure! Here's a basic example:

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