How can I set the DEBUG level in a Django application - django

Question

I am new to logging and am having difficulty setting the logging level to debug. I have created my own logger
# logger.py
from pathlib import Path
import logging
# Create a custom logger
logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)
logger.propagate = False
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)
# Create handlers
c_handler = logging.StreamHandler()
f_handler = logging.FileHandler('my_log_file.log')
c_handler.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
f_handler.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
# Create formatters and add them to handlers
c_format = logging.Formatter('myapp: %(message)s')
f_format = logging.Formatter('%(asctime)s - %(name)s - %(levelname)s - %(message)s')
c_handler.setFormatter(c_format)
f_handler.setFormatter(f_format)
# Add handlers to the logger
logger.addHandler(c_handler)
logger.addHandler(f_handler)
def log(frame, obj):
"""Create log message and return the object."""
path = Path(frame[0][1])
module = path.stem
line = frame[0][2]
message_text = f'{obj} <{module}> {line}'
logger.warning(message_text)
return obj
I can create log messages in my application with
log(inspect.stack(), f'Something happened here {myobj.name}: {myobj.value}')
but it will not create messages unless I use the warning level
logger.warning(message_text)
in the logger. If I change it to
logger.debug(message_text)
nothing happens
I searched the application for WARNING, DEBUG and level but can find nothing that should affect my logger
I assume there is another logger that is over-ridding my level (Django perhaps)
Can anyone help?

Following the hint given by Willem Van Onsem I added a LOGGING section to Django's system.py and it now works as I expected
LOGGING = {
'version': 1,
'disable_existing_loggers': False,
'handlers': {
'console': {
'class': 'logging.StreamHandler',
},
},
'root': {
'handlers': ['console'],
'level': 'INFO',
},
}
