I'm running django 1.3, python 2.6. I'm trying to write a custom formatter for the django.request logger. I need to log one of the headers from the HTTP request. The documentation for django.request (https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.3/topics/logging/) says:
Messages to this logger have the following extra context: status_code: The HTTP response code associated with the request. request: The request object that generated the logging message. It's not entirely clear what "extra context" means, but I'm assuming the record passed to my format() method will include those attributes. It doesn't. My formatter looks like: class UniqueRequestIdFormatter(logging.Formatter): def format(self, record): record.message = record.msg % record.args record.asctime = self.formatTime(record) format = '%(asctime)s: %(name)s %(levelname)s %(funcName)s % (message)s' pprint.pprint(record.__dict__) return format % record.__dict__ When I log something to this, it prints: {'args': (), 'asctime': '2011-09-22 14:54:53,755', 'created': 1316717693.7554641, 'exc_info': None, 'exc_text': None, 'filename': 'views.py', 'funcName': 'listen_content', 'levelname': 'DEBUG', 'levelno': 10, 'lineno': 253, 'message': u"slug = 'essential-motown-hits-songza'", 'module': 'views', 'msecs': 755.46407699584961, 'msg': u"slug = 'essential-motown-hits-songza'", 'name': 'django.request', 'pathname': '/home/roy/src/default/djsite/djfront/views.py', 'process': 18113, 'processName': 'MainProcess', 'relativeCreated': 16236.304044723511, 'thread': 48007945393920, 'threadName': 'Dummy-1'} How do I get access to the request object? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
