It includes a base ASIMFormatter class that routes logs through specialized serializers: a generic ASIMRootFormatter for standard logs and a custom ASIMRequestFormatter for django.request logs (4xx/5xx responses). The package also exposes an events module with functions like log_authentication and log_file_activity that generate ASIM-compliant event entries directly from Django HttpRequest objects.\n\nThe formatter outputs structured JSON with ASIM fields (EventSchema, EventType, EventResult, SrcIpAddr, etc.) plus optional DataDog trace fields when available. Configuration is handled through Django settings: DLFA_LOG_PERSONALLY_IDENTIFIABLE_INFORMATION controls PII inclusion, DLFA_TRACE_HEADERS customizes trace header names for different hosting environments (AWS, GOV.UK PaaS), and DLFA_INCLUDE_RAW_LOG optionally embeds the original unformatted log (with a security warning). You can extend the formatter by subclassing ASIMRootFormatter and registering custom serializers for specific loggers.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need to send Django logs to Azure Sentinel or require ASIM-compliant structured logging for security compliance. Low install friction, no known vulnerabilities, and active maintenance make it a safe choice. Not necessary if you use a different SIEM or have no requirement for ASIM normalization."},"id":"django-log-formatter-asim","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/django-log-formatter-asim","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/django-log-formatter-asim.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/django-log-formatter-asim/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-07-22","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"django-log-formatter-asim","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Formats Django logs in ASIM format."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":108098,"position":12579,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.3.1"}
