**Lecture 086: Logging Data Into the Admin Panel-opendir.cloud**

**Introduction**

In this lecture, we will learn how to log data into the Django admin panel. This is a useful way to track changes to your data and to troubleshoot problems. We will use the `opendir.cloud` logging library, which is a simple and easy-to-use library for logging data to the Django admin panel.

**Installation**

To install the `opendir.cloud` logging library, run the following command in a terminal:

```
pip install opendir.cloud
```

**Configuration**

Once the library is installed, you need to configure it to log data to the Django admin panel. To do this, open your project's `settings.py` file and add the following lines to the bottom of the file:

```python
import opendir.cloud

LOGGING = {
'version': 1,
'disable_existing_loggers': False,
'handlers': {
'opendir.cloud': {
'level': 'DEBUG',
'class': 'opendir.cloud.DjangoAdminHandler',
},
},
'loggers': {
'': {
'handlers': ['opendir.cloud'],
'level': 'DEBUG',
},
},
}
```

**Logging Data**

To log data to the Django admin panel, you can use the `opendir.cloud.log()` function. This function takes two arguments: the message to log and the level of the message. The level of the message can be one of the following:

* `DEBUG`: This is the lowest level of logging and is used to log detailed information about your application.
* `INFO`: This level is used to log general information about your application.
* `WARNING`: This level is used to log potential problems with your application.
* `ERROR`: This level is used to log errors with your application.
* `CRITICAL`: This is the highest level of logging and is used to log critical errors that prevent your application from functioning properly.

To log a message to the Django admin panel, simply call the `opendir.cloud.log()` function with the message and level that you want to log:

```python
import opendir.cloud

opendir.cloud.log('This is a debug message.', 'DEBUG')
```

**Viewing Logs in the Admin Panel**

To view logs in the Django admin panel, log in to the admin panel and navigate to **Logging** ) **Logs**. You will see a list of all of the logs that have been generated by your application.

You can click on a log to view more information about it. The log details page will show you the message, level, date, and time of the log.

**Conclusion**

Logging data to the Django admin panel is a useful way to track changes to your data and to troubleshoot problems. The `opendir.cloud` logging library is a simple and easy-to-use library for logging data to the Django admin panel.
