python - Django log messages not processing correctly. Messages to multiple files -

so have 2 loggers in django project. 1 authentication failures, , 1 includes includes messages when edited (basically have logger command). seem have bit of problem in modules want use both loggers however. 2 loggers defined so:

'': {     'handlers': ['file'],     'level': 'info',     'propagate': true, }, 'auth': {     'handlers': ['file_auth'],     'level': 'critical',     'propagate': true, } 

and handlers are:

'file': {     'level': 'info',     'class': 'logging.filehandler',     'filename': '/home/debug.log',     'formatter': 'simple', }, 'file_auth': {     'level': 'critical',     'class': 'logging.filehandler',     'filename': '/home/debug2.log',     'formatter': 'verbose', }, 

at top of django view, have

import logging logger = logging.getlogger('') logger = logging.getlogger('auth') 

then within 1 view have logger.info(message). if change logger.critical(message), message appears in both log files if remains logger.info, nothing happens @ all.

(probably useless information...at start of logging section in settings.py, have:

'version': 1, 'disable_existing_loggers': false, 

not sure if have relevance. struggling errors appear in both files until switched order of introducing them magically changed stuff - don't understand why make difference though)

would grateful if me out....probably simple must admit don't understand how works..

you have 2 different loggers, named '' (the root logger) , 'auth'. order in 2 statements appear:

logger = logging.getlogger('') logger = logging.getlogger('auth') 

obviously makes difference when call

logger.info(...) 

as in 2 cases calling method on 2 different loggers. might wish change code to

root_logger = logging.getlogger('') logger = logging.getlogger('auth') 

and call methods on either root_logger or logger appropriate.
