How to maintain the log name for an unhandled exception in Django

Question

I am a bit lost about the logging topic.

I declare all my loggers with logger = logging.getLogger(__name__) so when logging I have this info available. However, if an unhandled exception happens, I know that Django logs the exception with log name as django.request and so on because of this https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.0/ref/logging/#loggers , but what if I would like to use the log name I have declared? I know I am not actually calling the logger when the exception happens, but I would like to know the originary module for the exception. Any ideas?

Thanks!

Answer 1

The exception should have a traceback printed in the log, even if it was logged against django.request , and that should point to where the problem occurred / what it was. Otherwise, you will have to catch the exceptions yourself (in potentially each of your views) and log them as you see fit.
