#23394: Need documentation for merging the project's logging configuration with
Django's defaults

[https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.6/topics/logging/#configuring-logging
This part] of the logging documentation says: "Prior to Django 1.5, the
LOGGING setting always overwrote the default Django logging configuration.
From Django 1.5 forward, it is possible to get the project’s logging
configuration merged with Django’s defaults, hence you can decide if you
want to add to, or replace the existing configuration."

However, I don't see an example of how to get the project's logging
configuration merged with Django's defaults. Since there's no example, I
assume that it's supposed to be easy to do, but I can't figure out how to
do it. I'm not the only one, either. Have a look at
[http://stackoverflow.com/questions/25434021/how-can-i-add-to-djangos-
default-logging this Stack Overflow question] that I posted. Would you be
willing to add an example of getting the project's logging configuration
merged with Django's defaults?

Comment:

The documentation could be clearer. With `'disable_existing_loggers':
False`, if you redefine an existing logger, you will have to redefine it
entirely, no merge effect are applied with the existing logger (AFAIK).
