Django logger disabled when using Gunicorn - django

Question

I am trying to use Django logging with gunicorn. I am able to use it with Django development server, but when I use with gunicorn logs are not being written to file or console.
Here is my logging config(stripped down):
LOGGING = {
'version': 1,
'disable_existing_loggers': False,
'formatters': {
'verbose': {
'format': '[%(asctime)s] %(levelname)s [%(filename)s:%(lineno)s] %(message)s'
},
'simple': {
'format': '%(message)s'
}
},
'handlers': {
'console': {
'class': 'logging.StreamHandler',
},
'docs_file_handler': {
'class': 'logging.FileHandler',
'filename': os.path.join(LOGS_DIR, 'docs.log'),
'level': 'DEBUG',
'formatter': 'simple'
}
},
'loggers': {
'docs.views': {
'handlers': ['docs_file_handler', 'console'],
'propagate': True,
'level': 'DEBUG',
},
},
}
When I print the 'logger.disabled' it comes out True.
To get the logger:
logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)
print(logger.handlers) # Returns [<FileHandler /var/efs/docs.log (DEBUG)>]
print(logger.disabled) # Returns True
# When I manually set, logger starts working
logger.disabled = False
Gunicorn command:
gunicorn my_project.wsgi --enable-stdio-inheritance --log-level "info" --error-logfile "/var/efs/gunicorn.error.log" --access-logfile "/var/efs/gunicorn.access.log" --reload
I am unable to get the logs to work with Gunicorn.

I found the solution, in one of my modules I was explicitly specifying a logger with 'disable_existing_loggers' as True.
