You can quite easily control at what level messages are logged with
the standard Python logging framework. Each handler has a level
and will ignore messages at a lower level.

There are standard tools to rotate logfiles.

Again, the Python logging framework is quite flexible with
respect to the format of logged messages.

I work for a customer with a similar environment (he uses "Zope" instead
of "Django") - and he uses logfiles. The logfiles are automatically
rotated and there are in the order of half a dozen to a dozen logfiles
per day.

When I have to analyse a problem with the help of the logfiles,
I do not copy them via VPN but do the filtering remotely and only
copy the filtered portion, if necessary.
