Django uWSGI creates log file but the file is empty (works with development server)

I am trying to set up my Django project with uWSGI. I have defined my log handlers in settings.py and they will write logs fine when I used the development server. However when I move to my production server using uWSGI, although the log file is created, it is empty.

My settings.py contains this:

import logging
logger = logging.getLogger('django_auth_ldap')
logger.addHandler(logging.StreamHandler())
logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)

LOGGING = {
    'version': 1,
    'disable_existing_loggers': False,
    'handlers': {
    'console': {
        'class': 'logging.StreamHandler',
        },
        'file': {
            'level': 'DEBUG',
            'class': 'logging.FileHandler',
            'filename': '/tmp/zdebug.log',
            },
        },
        'loggers': {
            'django': {
                'handlers': ['console','file'],
                'level': os.getenv('DJANGO_LOG_LEVEL', 'INFO'),
            },
           'devices': {
               'handlers': ['console','file'],
               'level': 'INFO'
            },
           'stack_configs': {
                'handlers': ['console','file'],
                'level': 'INFO'
            },   
           'django_auth_ldap': {
                'handlers': ['console','file'],
                'level': 'INFO'
                },     
            },
  }

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

This is because your config is wrong. You've put loggers inside handlers, which violates the LOGGING structure. It should have the handlers, loggers, filters and formatters at the same level of a dict indentation:

LOGGING = {
    'version': 1,
    'disable_existing_loggers': False,
    'handlers': {
        'console': {
            'class': 'logging.StreamHandler',
        },
        'file': {
            'level': 'DEBUG',
            'class': 'logging.FileHandler',
            'filename': '/tmp/zdebug.log',
        },
    },
    'loggers': {
        'django': {
            'handlers': ['console','file'],
            'level': os.getenv('DJANGO_LOG_LEVEL', 'INFO'),
        },
       'devices': {
           'handlers': ['console','file'],
           'level': 'INFO'
        },
       'stack_configs': {
            'handlers': ['console','file'],
            'level': 'INFO'
        },   
       'django_auth_ldap': {
            'handlers': ['console','file'],
            'level': 'INFO'
        },
    },
}

The empty file you see is created on Django boot, and Django logs on your development server because it uses default loggers, disregarding malformed config.
