It uses Django signals to intercept create, update, and delete operations on all models in your project, then stores them in dedicated database tables that are queryable through the Django admin interface.\n\nThe package is designed as a low-friction alternative to other audit solutions that require model inheritance or field additions. It integrates via middleware and a single INSTALLED_APPS entry, then runs migrations to set up its tables. Configuration is optional but extensive\u2014you can exclude specific models or URLs, customize which event types to log, plug in alternative logging backends, and control admin visibility. The fact sheet shows it supports Django 4.2 through 6.0 and Python 3.9\u20133.14, with no known security vulnerabilities.","worth_installing":"Yes, with conditions. Install if you need automatic audit logging in a Django project and can accept GPLv3 copyleft licensing. The low install friction, active maintenance, and zero known vulnerabilities make it a solid choice for compliance and accountability use cases. Do not install if your project is proprietary and cannot comply with copyleft obligations."},"id":"django-easy-audit","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/django-easy-audit","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/django-easy-audit.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/django-easy-audit/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-06-30","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"copyleft","name":"django-easy-audit","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Yet another Django audit log app, hopefully the simplest one."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":109456,"position":12514,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.3.9"}
