We use some simple middleware.. below is an excerpt. You can modify it to use directly within a view.
class WebRequest(models.Model):
time = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
host = models.CharField(max_length=1000)
path = models.CharField(max_length=1000)
method = models.CharField(max_length=50)
uri = models.CharField(max_length=2000)
status_code = models.IntegerField()
user_agent = models.CharField(max_length=1000,blank=True,null=True)
remote_addr = models.IPAddressField()
remote_addr_fwd = models.IPAddressField(blank=True,null=True)
meta = models.TextField()
cookies = models.TextField(blank=True,null=True)
get = models.TextField(blank=True,null=True)
post = models.TextField(blank=True,null=True)
raw_post = models.TextField(blank=True,null=True)
is_secure = models.BooleanField()
is_ajax = models.BooleanField()
user = models.ForeignKey(User,blank=True,null=True)
def dumps(value):
return json.dumps(value,default=lambda o:None)
class WebRequestMiddleware(object):
def process_view(self, request, view_func, view_args, view_kwargs):
setattr(request,'hide_post',view_kwargs.pop('hide_post',False))
def process_response(self, request, response):
if request.path.endswith('/favicon.ico'):
return response
if type(response) == HttpResponsePermanentRedirect and settings.APPEND_SLASH:
new_location = response.get('location',None)
content_length = response.get('content-length',None)
if new_location and content_length is '0':
new_parsed = urlparse(new_location)
old = (('http','https')[request.is_secure()], request.get_host(), '{0}/'.format(request.path), request.META['QUERY_STRING'])
new = (new_parsed.scheme, new_parsed.netloc, new_parsed.path, new_parsed.query)
if old == new:
#dont log - it's just adding a /
return response
try:
self.save(request, response)
except Exception as e:
print >> sys.stderr, "Error saving request log", e
return response
def save(self, request, response):
if hasattr(request, 'user'):
user = request.user if type(request.user) == User else None
else:
user = None
meta = request.META.copy()
meta.pop('QUERY_STRING',None)
meta.pop('HTTP_COOKIE',None)
remote_addr_fwd = None
if 'HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR' in meta:
remote_addr_fwd = meta['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'].split(",")[0].strip()

meta.pop('HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR')
post = None
uri = request.build_absolute_uri()
if request.POST and uri != '/login/':
post = dumps(request.POST)
models.WebRequest(
host = request.get_host(),
path = request.path,
method = request.method,
uri = request.build_absolute_uri(),
status_code = response.status_code,
user_agent = meta.pop('HTTP_USER_AGENT',None),
remote_addr = meta.pop('REMOTE_ADDR',None),
remote_addr_fwd = remote_addr_fwd,
meta = None if not meta else dumps(meta),
cookies = None if not request.COOKIES else dumps(request.COOKIES),
get = None if not request.GET else dumps(request.GET),
post = None if (not request.POST or getattr(request,'hide_post') == True) else dumps(request.POST),
raw_post = None if getattr(request,'hide_post') else request.raw_post_data,
is_secure = request.is_secure(),

Just manually pull it from the request.
The docs outlines a lot of the info that can be pulled from the request object.
For example, headers are stored in request.META
, GET params in request.GET, etc.
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/request-response/#django.http.HttpRequest.META
What’s the best way to store it? Depends what you’re doing. Log it, store it in a DB, send it somewhere else… You say for statistics, so a database sounds like a good place to put this as it’s easy to query.

Extension to Josh answer, you could use JSONField for post data if you are using postgres as your backend. It will help in dealing with json directly rather than loading it manually.
read more: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.0/ref/contrib/postgres/fields/#jsonfield
you could do something like this
from django.contrib.postgres.fields import JSONField
class WebRequest(models.Model):
post = JSONField(default=dict)
