How Can I Add to Django's Default Logging?

Question

I'm using Django 1.6 and would like to add to—not replace—Django's default logging. Specifically, I want to make it so that in addition to Django's default logging behavior, any log record with a log level of DEBUG or higher gets written to a log file that gets automatically rotated.

Based on what I've found through searches and my own experimenting, it seems like you have to redefine all of the logging (Django's defaults plus my rotating file logging), even when using 'disable_existing_loggers': False. I figure I'm probably doing something wrong.

I'd like to see an example of what to put in my settings.py file that will allow me to accomplish this.

Based on your comments I tried this. It seems to do what you're asking.

LOGGING = {
    'version': 1,
    'disable_existing_loggers': False,
    'handlers': {
        'rotate': {
            'level': 'DEBUG',
            'class': 'logging.handlers.RotatingFileHandler',
            'filename': '/tmp/debug.log',
        }
    },
    'loggers': {
        'django': {
            'handlers': ['rotate'],
            'propagate': True,
            'level': 'DEBUG',
        }
    },
}
