It logs request headers, body, and response content, with automatic log-level escalation for 400-599 status codes. The middleware supports fine-grained control via a @no_logging decorator for views handling sensitive data, allowing per-view configuration of what gets logged (headers, body, response, or none). It also masks sensitive headers like HTTP_AUTHORIZATION by default and respects Django's standard logging configuration.\n\nThe package is designed to work with both traditional web requests and API calls, and provides settings to customize behavior globally\u2014including max body length (default 50000 characters), colorization, log levels, and which headers to redact. Installation requires only adding the middleware to Django's MIDDLEWARE tuple and configuring a logger for 'django.request'.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are on a stable Django version and accept the maintenance risk. The package is simple, low-friction to install, has no security vulnerabilities, and solves a real debugging need. However, it is dormant (last release February 2022) and may not work with Django versions released after that date. Verify compatibility with your Django version before committing to it."},"id":"django-request-logging","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/django-request-logging","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/django-request-logging.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/django-request-logging/"},"maintenance":{"status":"dormant"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2022-02-23","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"django-request-logging","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Django middleware that logs http request body."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":184002,"position":10051,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.7.5"}
