Install using pip...

$ pip install django-rest-logger

Add default exception handler to your Django REST Framework settings:

REST_FRAMEWORK = {
    'EXCEPTION_HANDLER': 'django_rest_logger.handlers.rest_exception_handler',
}

Add logger configuration to your development settings.py:

LOGGING = {
    'version': 1,
    'disable_existing_loggers': True,
    'root': {
        'level': 'DEBUG',
        'handlers': ['django_rest_logger_handler'],
    },
    'formatters': {
        'verbose': {
            'format': '%(levelname)s %(asctime)s %(module)s '
                      '%(process)d %(thread)d %(message)s'
        },
    },
    'handlers': {
        'django_rest_logger_handler': {
            'level': 'DEBUG',
            'class': 'logging.StreamHandler',
            'formatter': 'verbose'
        }
    },
    'loggers': {
        'django.db.backends': {
            'level': 'ERROR',
            'handlers': ['django_rest_logger_handler'],
            'propagate': False,
        },
        'django_rest_logger': {
            'level': 'DEBUG',
            'handlers': ['django_rest_logger_handler'],
            'propagate': False,
        },
    },
}

DEFAULT_LOGGER = 'django_rest_logger'

LOGGER_EXCEPTION = DEFAULT_LOGGER
LOGGER_ERROR = DEFAULT_LOGGER
LOGGER_WARNING = DEFAULT_LOGGER

Example for logger configuration using Sentry to be used in your production settings.py:

LOGGING = {
    'version': 1,
    'disable_existing_loggers': True,
    'root': {
        'level': 'WARNING',
        'handlers': ['sentry'],
    },
    'formatters': {
        'verbose': {
            'format': '%(levelname)s %(asctime)s %(module)s '
                      '%(process)d %(thread)d %(message)s'
        },
    },
    'handlers': {
        'sentry': {
            'level': 'ERROR',
            'class': 'raven.contrib.django.raven_compat.handlers.SentryHandler',
        },
        'console': {
            'level': 'DEBUG',
            'class': 'logging.StreamHandler',
            'formatter': 'verbose'
        }
    },
    'loggers': {
        'django.db.backends': {
            'level': 'ERROR',
            'handlers': ['console'],
            'propagate': False,
        },
        'raven': {
            'level': 'DEBUG',

            'propagate': False,
        },
