Uwsgi disables django.request logging

Question

If I start application using uwsgi I don't see logs related to django.requests.

But If I start the same code on the same machine using

manage.py runserver 8080

it works perfectly.

Any ideas why it might happen?

I run uwsgi by this command

/home/gs/python-env/bin/uwsgi --ini /etc/uwsgi.d/uwsgi.ini --static-map /static=/home/gs/api/static/

uwsgi.ini

[uwsgi]
http-socket=:8080
home=/home/gs/python-env
chdir=/home/gs/api
module=server.wsgi
env=server.settings
processes=1
enable-threads=true

My logging configuration from settings.py

LOGGING = {
    'version': 1,
    'disable_existing_loggers': True,
    'formatters': {
        'verbose': {
            'format': '%(levelname)s %(asctime)s %(process)d %(threadName)s %(module)s %(funcName)s %(message)s'
        }
    },
    'handlers': {
        'console': {
            'class': 'logging.StreamHandler',
        },
        'file': {
            'level': 'DEBUG',
            'class': 'logging.handlers.RotatingFileHandler',
            'filename': '/var/log/gs/api.log',
            'formatter': 'verbose',
            'maxBytes': 1024 * 1024 * 16,  # 16Mb
        },
        'elasticsearch': {
            'level': 'DEBUG',
            'class': 'api.common.elasticsearch_log_handler.ElasticSearchHandler',
            'hosts': [{'host': cluster.ES_HOST, 'port': 443}],
            'es_index_name': 'logstash',
            'es_additional_fields': {'type': 'api', 'cluser': cluster.CLUSTER_NAME},
            'auth_type': ElasticSearchHandler.AuthType.NO_AUTH,
            'use_ssl': True,
        }
    },
    'loggers': {
       'django': {
            'handlers': ['file', 'elasticsearch', 'console'],
            'level': 'INFO',
            'propagate': True
        },
        'django.request': {
            'handlers': ['file', 'elasticsearch', 'console'],
            'level': 'DEBUG',
            'propagate':False
         }
    }
}

If I change info to debug for 'django' I will see my logs from django logger but not from django.request.

UPD: If I write my own middleware I can log requests. But I want to know why django.request doesn't work with uwsgi.

Answer 1

Django's runserver provides the log messages that show up under django.server. When not running under runserver there are still some messages that can be logged to django.request (mostly error messages) but the informational log message for each request only exists in runserver. I verified this by looking at the uWSGI and the Django source.

If you want a similar log message you can use django-request-logging.
