The body of the mail request, as well as the Django administrator on server error

Question

I am using the default logger in Django having the following configuration:

LOGGING = { 'version': 1, 'disable_existing_loggers': False, 'filters': { 'require_debug_false': { '()': 'django.utils.log.RequireDebugFalse' } }, 'handlers': { 'mail_admins': { 'level': 'ERROR', 'filters': ['require_debug_false'], 'class': 'django.utils.log.AdminEmailHandler' }, 'console': { 'level': 'DEBUG', 'class': 'logging.StreamHandler' } }, 'loggers': { 'django.request': { 'handlers': ['mail_admins', 'console'], 'level': 'ERROR', 'propagate': True, }, } 

}

Therefore, whenever I get 500 errors, I correctly receive mail in the admin email id, but it does not send POST JSON request data. I am sending a request as shown below:

 curl -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' http://127.0.0.1/api/customer/ -d "{'username':'rajeevnith', 'frist_name': 'Rajeev', 'last_name':'Bahrdwaj'}" 

How can we configure django logger to send this request body?

we use an admin email handler like this one that works for any type of error. hope this works for you.

 class MyAdminEmailHandler(AdminEmailHandler): def __init__(MyAdminEmailHandler, include_html=False, email_backend=None): super(MyAdminEmailHandler, self).__init__(self, include_html, email_backend) def emit(self, record): try: request = record.request subject = '%s (%s IP): %s' % ( record.levelname, ('internal' if request.META.get('REMOTE_ADDR') in settings.INTERNAL_IPS else 'EXTERNAL'), record.getMessage() ) filter = get_exception_reporter_filter(request) request_repr = '\n{0}'.format(force_text(filter.get_request_repr(request))) except Exception: subject = '%s: %s' % ( record.levelname, record.getMessage() ) request = None request_repr = "unavailable" subject = self.format_subject(subject) if record.exc_info: exc_info = record.exc_info else: exc_info = (None, record.getMessage(), None) message = "%s\n\nRequest repr(): %s" % (self.format(record), request_repr) reporter = ExceptionReporter(request, is_email=True, *exc_info) html_message = reporter.get_traceback_html() if self.include_html else None try: mail.mail_admins(subject, message, fail_silently=True, html_message=html_message, connection=self.connection()) except Exception as e: console_logger.warn("%s : %s" % (__name__, str(e)))
