Django Audit is a simple Django app that tracks and logs requests to your application.

1. Install django-audit

pip install dj-audit

2. Add dj_audit to your INSTALLED_APPS:

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    ...,
    "dj_audit"
]

3. Add dj_audit middleware:

MIDDLEWARE = [
    ...
    "dj_audit.middleware.AuditMiddleware"
]

if you want access to the dj-audit dashboard, then add the following to your urls.py

urlpatterns = [
    path("admin/", admin.site.urls),
    path("dj-audit/", include('dj_audit.urls'))
]

4. Run migrate

python manage.py migrate

flush_auditlog - Cleans up dj-audit AuditLog table

python manage.py flush_auditlog

You have a couple options available to you to customize dj-audit a bit. These should be defined in your settings.py file.

• AUDIT_LOG_TEMPLATE: str: If set, the template here will be render when the user visits the audit log page (i.e /dj-audit/audit-logs/)

• REQUEST_STATUS_TEMPLATE: str: If set, the template here will be render when the user visits the request status page (i.e /dj-audit/request-status/)

• IGNORE_FILE_EXTENSIONS: list: If set, the middleware will not log endpoints containing the extensions specified in the list. DEFAULT: ['.svg', '.js', '.css', '.png', '.jpg', '.ico']

• AUDIT_LOG_DJ_REST_CONTENT_TYPES: list: content type of your Rest APIs. DEFAULT: ['application/json', 'application/xml']

• AUDIT_LOG_DJ_EXTRA_CONDITIONS_FOR_200: bool: Specify if there are extra conditions you will like to check to validate if a request is successful or not. DEFAULT: False

• AUDIT_LOG_DJ_EXTRA_CONDITIONS: list: Extra conditions to set to determine if a request body is successful or not. DEFAULT: []
