Quick start

  1. Django Log Viewer is available directly from PyPI:
pip install django-log-viewer
  1. Add "log_viewer" to your INSTALLED_APPS setting like this
INSTALLED_APPS = [
    ...
    "log_viewer",
]
  1. Include the log viewer URLconf in your project urls.py like this
path('admin/log_viewer/', include('log_viewer.urls')),

LOG_VIEWER_FILES = ['logfile1', 'logfile2', ...]
LOG_VIEWER_FILES_DIR = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, '../logs')
LOG_VIEWER_MAX_READ_LINES = 1000  # total log lines will be read
LOG_VIEWER_PAGE_LENGTH = 25       # total log lines per-page

# Optionally you can set the next variables in order to customize the admin:

LOG_VIEWER_FILE_LIST_TITLE = "Custom title"
LOG_VIEWER_FILE_LIST_STYLES = "/static/css/my-custom.css"
