django simple audit

****************************************

This applications was created to audit model's changes and maintain a log of them

Installation

===============

You can install django-simple-audit in 2 ways: using pip or by setup.py install

.. code-block:: bash

    $ pip install django-simple-audit

Then modify your settings.py, adding the package `simple_audit` in INSTALLED_APPS and in MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES add

`simple_audit.middleware.TrackingRequestOnThreadLocalMiddleware`:

.. code-block:: bash

	INSTALLED_APPS = (

	    '...',

	    'simple_audit',

	)

	MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = (

	     '...',

	     'simple_audit.middleware.TrackingRequestOnThreadLocalMiddleware',

	)

	DJANGO_SIMPLE_AUDIT_ACTIVATED = True

Usage

======

Tracking changes on a model

----------------------------

to audit a model you need import `simple_audit` and then register the model to be audited.

.. code-block:: python

	from django.db import models

	import simple_audit

	class Message(models.Model):

	    title = models.CharField(max_length=50, blank=False)

	    text = models.TextField(blank=False)

	    def __unicode__(self):

	        return self.text

	class Owner(models.Model):

	    name = models.CharField(max_length=50, blank=False)

	    def __unicode__(self):

	        return self.name

	class VirtualMachine(models.Model):

	    name = models.CharField(max_length=50, blank=False)

	    cpus = models.IntegerField()

	    owner = models.ForeignKey(Owner)

	    so = models.CharField(max_length=100, blank=False)

	    started = models.BooleanField()

	    def __unicode__(self):

	        return self.name

	simple_audit.register(Message, Owner, VirtualMachine)

Advanced Usage (without httprequest or our middleware)

--------------------------------------------------------

You can use django-simple-audit without an http request (for example in management command). In this situation

there is no http request on thread context. To ensure gathering all modification on a single AuditRequest, you can

specify it:

.. code-block:: python

	AuditRequest.new_request(path, user, ip)

	try:

	    # my code... in same thread

	finally:

	    AuditRequest.cleanup_request()

Tracking m2m fields changes

----------------------------

Tracking m2m fields changes is still experimental, but you can enable it with the following variable:

    DJANGO_SIMPLE_AUDIT_M2M_FIELDS = True

You need to have at least one cache backend set in your django settings, otherwise the previous settings will be set to False.

    CACHES = {

        'default': {

            'BACKEND': 'django.core.cache.backends.locmem.LocMemCache',

            'LOCATION': 'unique',

            'TIMEOUT': 300,

        }

    }
