Django logging on Heroku

Question

I know this question was already asked several times, but I just can\'t get it to work. I already spent half a day trying dozens of combinations, and again now and it is sti

Answer 1

In my case, I did have a valid logging setting

LOGGING = {...}

Unfortunately it was being ignored because, at the bottom of my setting file, I was calling

django_heroku.settings(locals())

This was overwriting my logging setting so the solution was

django_heroku.settings(locals(), logging=False)

This looks as though it might disable logging but it actually just skips heroku's own logging config.

As a side note, I would use this code when debugging Django logging problems because it should more or less always work with the Django defaults:

import logging
logger = logging.getLogger('django.server')
logger.error('some important infos')

See Django's default logging config

You can then change the logger, the message level and the logging settings to work out exactly what the problem is.
