I am developing a web application where I'm using Django 2.0.8 and Django Rest Framework to build a RESTful API. I have build some endpoint for basic CRUD operations. The problem is now I am trying to view log to my admin Dashboard. (Custom Admin Panel). But when I browsed my Database (PostgreSQL), I found that I have django_admin_log table but it is totally empty. But I created some object with those endpoints. Doesn't Django keep logs of user's activities by default? Or am I missing something?
PS: I was authenticated while creating those objects
django_admin_log table
Django logs actions done only via the Admin Panel. You can create custom logic to create records in the admin log table using the LogEntry model from django.contrib.admin.models.

I am using django to build a cms system and want to implement the audit function by uploading ordinary users content to transit table.
Overwriting save model does not work because there are some inline tables.
And I have a doubt, when the admin class is registered with model, can it save the data(obj) to other model?
Like in phpmyadmin, we have an visual interface to manage fields. Can we do the same thing in Django?
If your Django connected database is e.g. PostgreSQL, you could use pgAdmin4 (https://www.pgadmin.org/). So it is actually not about managing the tables in Django but in a database tool (visually). To manipulate your database schema you will have to use Models in your Django application (https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.2/topics/db/models/).
I am new to django. I want my admin panel to automatically update itself whenever new model instances are created without refreshing the page. I found that this can be implemented using websocket(django channels), But I do not know how to do with the django admin. Any help/suggestions/directions are much appreciated!!
I'm currently struggling with django admin and mongodb, I found some solutions about combining django admin and mongodb, but none of them is perfectly integrated with django admin. What I need is that I can do CRUD to mongodb tables in admin site like I use MySQL.
mongonaut : besides mapping to mongodb tables, mongonaut has permissions to do CRUD, but I don't know how to integreted mongonaut into django admin index page, mongonaut has its own page and css style to do CRUD.
mongoadmin : lack of permissions management is why I skipped it.
I am new to django，could anyone tell me what is your solution to integrated django admin and mongodb, thanks a lot !
I would like to map some of the field available in my companies Active Directory to my Django Application like department, Job Title so on. I am using the Django_auth_ldap for backend authentication and it copies the data and updates the record in the Django application Database. Since, Django Auth User table does not support these attributes what will be your suggestions of doing it? Please let me know if you need any more information.
Read here, map AD profile attributes to the django profile.

Here is documentation from django https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/auth/customizing/. Have you tried googling? There is already lot of info available for this.
