Logging and Exception Handling for Django
summary
Covers Python's logging API and Django specifics: how settings.py provides a logging dict that gets handed to logging.dictConfig, how to create rotating FileHandler entries and wire handlers to django and root loggers, how logger.exception adds stack traces and how to include extra fields with a custom Formatter (example: hostname), how Django sends mail_admins when DEBUG is false, how to enable django.db.backends DEBUG for SQL, integrate Rollbar, and set sys.excepthook to capture uncaught crashes.
