Overview
If you're developing a Django Rest Framework (DRF) application, tracking API requests and responses is crucial for debugging and performance monitoring. The DRF API Logger is an invaluable tool for developers, allowing you to log all API information seamlessly. This tool can help ensure that you're capturing essential details about API interactions in a structured manner.
With its comprehensive logging capabilities, including request and response details, execution times, and client information, the DRF API Logger is designed to enhance the maintainability of your API. Whether you're logging to a database or listening to logger signals for custom use cases, this tool promises to streamline your development process without compromising API performance.
Features
- Comprehensive Logging: Captures all relevant API interaction details including Request Body, Headers, Method, and Response Status Code.
- Database Logging: Store logs directly in your database for easy access and monitoring through the Django Admin Panel.
- Filtering and Searching: Use the search bar to filter logs based on fields like Request Body, Response, Headers, and more.
- Custom Logging Options: Configure settings to include or exclude specific namespaces, URL names, or even sensitive data from logs.
- Performance Monitoring: Identify slow APIs by setting thresholds to mark them as 'slow' in the logs.
- Flexible Queue Management: Log information first into a queue and perform bulk inserts to avoid affecting API performance.
- Timezone-Aware Timestamps: Each logged API call is time-stamped with the actual call time, providing accurate performance metrics.
- Custom File Logging: Listen to logger signals to handle logs in a custom way, such as writing to a file for different use cases.
With these features, the DRF API Logger is a robust solution for building analytical capabilities into your Django REST application.
