Django: Shut off console output of http response messages

So we made an app with django and it prints all these http response messages on the console everytime it gets a request. 

[Date String] 'GET /urlpath/..blah blah ' 200 216
[Date String] 'DELETE /anotherurl/..blah blah ' 200 205 
...
..

We have disabled all logger outputs. Set Debug=False. Tried 'python manage.py runserver --verbosity 0'. Even tried changing sys.stdout to a NullDevice() class. Yet, we can't seem to turn off these response messages which are slowing the server to a crawl. All other messages get turned off, except these. Any suggestions?

I realize that the django internal webserver is meant only for development and not for production, but we would like to get a fair amount of speed just with the developmental version itself (without having to go into the intricacies of deploying django behind Apache/lighttpd).

Solution

  • All you need just to Add in Django logging settings:

        'loggers': {
        # django's default logger
        'django.server': {
            'handlers': ['django.server'],
            'level': 'INFO',
            'propagate': False,
        },
    }

    you can override Django's default loggers: https://github.com/django/django/blob/32265361279b3316f5bce8efa71f2049409461e3/django/utils/log.py#L18
