Re: Best approach for audit logging in Django.

[Sencer Hamarat]

Hi, Mukul

Never use a disk file for audit logging.
Use at least a DB. On the other hand, using logging facilities or
specialized tools are better options.
Jason's suggestion above might lead you to the right choice.

Kind Regards,
Sencer HAMARAT

 But, I can not decide which approach is the best;
 Using signals or creating middleware?

 Project needs to being log events on change of model object with these
 informations below:

 - If a record is inserted, updated and deleted:
- who is taking this action (ForeignKey)
- what is the action (Choice)
- which applications model object affected (ContentType)
- affected object (Generic relation)
- current data in json format
- previous data in json format

Re: Best approach for audit logging in Django.

[Sencer Hamarat]

Hi Lalit,

Thanks for your reply.

Actually, It must cover all models. Not certain ones.
I thought middleware should be a much better place for this action, but I
can't imagine how to handle it.

Saygılarımla,
Sencer HAMARAT

Re: Best approach for audit logging in Django.

[Lalit Suthar]

Hi Sencer, signals will be helpful only if you are auditing on certain
models
but if you are trying to audit a set of views then middleware will be a
better choice since that will be more manageable

Re: Best approach for audit logging in Django.

[Jason]

one good source when you have a question "is there anything in django that 
does X?" is to go to djangopackages.org.

https://djangopackages.org/grids/g/model-audit/, for example, is a list of 
packages for model auditing and history

Best approach for audit logging in Django.

[Sencer Hamarat]

Hi,

I've been planning to add audit logging to the project.

But, I can not decide which approach is the best;
Using signals or creating middleware?

Project needs to being log events on change of model object with these

- If a record is inserted, updated and deleted:
   - who is taking this action (ForeignKey)
   - what is the action (Choice)
   - which applications model object affected (ContentType)

   - current data in json format
   - previous data in json format
