# Logging

`LDAPBackend` uses the standard Python `logging` module to log debug and warning messages to the logger named `'django_auth_ldap'`. If you need debug messages to help with configuration issues, you should add a handler to this logger. Using Django’s `LOGGING` setting, you can add an entry to your config.

    LOGGING = {
        "version": 1,
        "disable_existing_loggers": False,
        "handlers": {"console": {"class": "logging.StreamHandler"}},
        "loggers": {"django_auth_ldap": {"level": "DEBUG", "handlers": ["console"]}},
    }
