+First, here's a simple configuration which writes all request logging from the
+:ref:`django-request-logger` logger to a local file::

+    LOGGING = {
+        'version': 1,
+        'disable_existing_loggers': False,
+        'handlers': {
+            'file': {
+                'level': 'DEBUG',
+                'class': 'logging.FileHandler',
+                'filename': '/path/to/django/debug.log',
