    'disable_existing_loggers': False,
    'filters': {
        'require_debug_false': {
            '()': 'django.utils.log.RequireDebugFalse'
        }
    },
    'handlers': {
        'airbrake': {
            'level': 'WARNING',
            'class': 'airbrake.handlers.AirbrakeHandler',
            'filters': ['require_debug_false'],
            'api_key': '[your-api-key]',
            'env_name': 'develop',
        }
    },
    'loggers': {
        'django.request': {
            'handlers': ['airbrake'],
