logging - concise way to change django console log level -

i want able override console log level in settings file. read django logging document, i'm having trouble making logging want. documentation assures me that:

"from django 1.5 forward, project’s logging configuration merged django’s defaults, hence can decide if want add to, or replace existing configuration. override default configuration, set disable_existing_loggers key true in logging dictconfig. alternatively can redefine or of loggers."

so tried adding following settings.py:

logging = {     'version': 1,     'disable_existing_loggers': false,     'handlers': {         'console':{             'level': 'debug',         },     }, } 

...but exception:

<snip>   file "/usr/lib/python2.7/logging/config.py", line 575, in configure     '%r: %s' % (name, e)) valueerror: unable configure handler 'console': 'nonetype' object has no attribute 'split' 

fair enough. seems want whole configuration block. tried thought simplest console logger config:

logging = {     'version': 1,     'disable_existing_loggers': true,     'formatters': {         'simple': {             'format': '%(levelname)s %(message)s'         },     },     'handlers': {         'console':{             'level': 'info',             'class': 'logging.streamhandler',             'formatter': 'simple'         },     },     'loggers': {         'default': {             'handlers': ['console'],             'level': 'info',             'filters': []         }     } } 

my intention set log-level info, still see bunch of debug messages, , string myformatter doesn't appear in of them anyway.

finally, blind optimism, attempted this:

from django.utils.log import default_logging default_logging['handlers']['console']['level'] = 'info' 

i must missing quite obvious here.

btw, i'm using django 1.5.1.

answering own question here, ended going following in settings.py file:

import logging  logging.basicconfig(     level = logging.info,     format = " %(levelname)s %(name)s: %(message)s", )
