Why are my Django / uWSGI vassal logs empty?

I am running my Django site as a vassal of UWSGI emperor. I have created /etc/uwsgi-emperor/vassals/mysite.ini as follows:

[uwsgi]
socket = /var/opt/mysite/uwsgi.sock
chmod-socket = 775
chdir = /opt/mysite
master = true
virtualenv = /opt/mysite_virtualenv
env = DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=mysite.settings
module = mysite.wsgi:application
uid = www-data
gid = www-data
processes = 1
threads = 1
plugins = python3,logfile
logger = file:/var/log/uwsgi/app/mysite.log
vacuum = true

But /var/log/uwsgi/app/mysite.log does not get created. If I touch it, it remains empty. This occurs even after I trigger 500-style errors in the application.

Why aren't my logs being written?

The vassal does not have permission to write to the file (or create the file in the first place). You should

cd /var/log/uwsgi/app
touch mysite.log # create the file
chown www-data:www-data mysite.log # give the vassal permission

(where www-data:www-data matches the uid and gid values in your ini file).

Logs will start appearing shortly.
