django-eventlog is a very simple event logger you can use to track certain actions in
your code. Events are stored in a Django model and can be viewed in the Django Admin.
Usage Example:
```python
from eventlog import EventGroup
e = EventGroup() # Start a new Event Group
e.info('About to send 1000 mails.', # Trigger an Event
initiator='Mailer Daemon')
try:
# ... sending 1000 mails
e.info('All emails sent!', # Trigger an Event in the same group,
initiator='Mailer Daemon') # so they are combined in the admin.
except Exception:
e.error('There was an error sending the emails.',
initiator='Mailer Daemon')
```
You can reuse an event group by specifying a group name and attach optional data. Data
must be JSON serializable.
```python
from eventlog import EventGroup
def purchase():
e = EventGroup(group_id=f"Order {self.order.pk}")
e.info("Sent order to Shopify", data={"items": [1, 2, 3]})
def subscribe_newsletter():
e = EventGroup(group_id=f"Order {self.order.pk}")
e.info("User subscribed to newsletter on checkout", data={"email": "user@example.com"})
```
Events can be grouped in a "Event Group" and when hovering over one item in the admin,
all events of the same group are highlighted:

The details view of an event will list all other events of this group so you
can track the progress:

While looking similar, it's not intended to be a replacement for your regular Python
`logging` facility, rather an addition to it.
django-eventlog stores it's data in a regular database model, so each log entry will
trigger a SQL Insert. Therefore you should be careful using it in high performance
and/or high volume environments.
# Changelog
# 2.2.2 (2024-11-19)
- Added support for Python 3.13
- Drop support for Django <= 4.1
## 2.2.1 (2024-09-02)
- Added support for Django 5.1
## 2.2 (2024-06-16)
- Minor typo fixes
- The 'group' db field now uses a DB index.
## 2.1 (2024-03-20)
- The format and value of the random group id can now be specified using the AppConfig.
- Various improvements to make the Event model swappable via the AppConfig.
- Switch development tooling from Pipenv to Poetry
## 2.0 (2024-03-10)
- Overall test and code refactor.
- Documentation now done with MKDocs.
- Timeline in Admin change form now supports delays of days and hours, instead of just minutes.
- _Backwards incompatible:_ Removed undocumented `Event.objects.purge()` queryset method.
- _Backwards incompatible:_ The list of event types defined in the app config is now
set via Python dataclasses rather than a dictionary. The migration is straightforward.
```python
event_types = {
"info": {
"label": _("Info"),
"color": None,
"bgcolor": None,
},
"warning": {
"label": _("Warning"),
"color": None,
"bgcolor": None,
},
# ...
}
```
The dictionary is now a `EventTypeList` of `EventType` dataclasses:
```python
from django.utils.translation import gettext_lazy as _
from eventlog.datastructures import EventType, EventTypeList
# List of event types to be used in events. A list of `EventType` classes
event_types = EventTypeList(
EventType(name="info", label=_("Info")),
EventType(name="warning", label=_("Warning")),
EventType(name="error", label=_("Error"), color="red"),
EventType(name="critical", label=_("Critical"), color="white", bgcolor="red"),
)
```
You will only need to do this change if you've earlier overridden the event_type property.
## 1.5 (2024-03-08)
- Event can have optional, JSON serializable data attached.
- Fixed dark mode colors.
- Various Admin UI improvements.
## 1.4 (2024-03-05)
- Event groups can now have arbitrary names instead of UUIDs.
- Event comments is a textfield.
- Fixed potential migration warnings around AutoFields.
## 1.3 (2023-10-04)
- Python 3.12 compatibility
- Django 5.0 support
- Type Annotations
## 1.2 (2023-04-28)
- Python 3.7 to 3.11 compatibility
- Django 3.2 to 4.2 support
## 1.1 (2018-05-11)
- Added ability to manually set a group id to make an EventGroup object
reusable through threads.
## 1.0 (2018-02-13)
- Production ready 1.0 release.
- The details Admin view now displays all events of the group with an
annotated delay, so you can see the progress of the group.
## 0.9 (2018-02-13)
- Initial release.
- Django 1.8 to 2.0 compatibility.
- Python 2.7 to 3.6 compatibility.
