What does the logger 'django.server' do? Is the logger 'django' not enough?

Question

I need to only add the logger which logs all the api requests coming to my server. In the documentation,

django.request

Log messages related to the handling of requests. 5XX responses are raised as ERROR messages; 4XX responses are raised as WARNING messages. Requests that are logged to the django.security logger aren’t logged to django.request.

django.server

Log messages related to the handling of requests received by the server invoked by the runserver command. HTTP 5XX responses are logged as ERROR messages, 4XX responses are logged as WARNING messages, and everything else is logged as INFO.

I tried disabling django.server but I could not see any difference in my logs. So, I thought maybe it is for requests emanating from my server. Nope. Still nothing.

So what does django.server do?

According to the docs is's the dev server, not used in production — mousetail, Nov 09 '21 at 08:29
I didn't find any such mention at all. Can you provide a link? — anantdd, Nov 11 '21 at 12:59
It's in the quote you posted. Django.server is invoked by the `runserver` command — mousetail, Nov 11 '21 at 14:07

I had a similar problem and got clarification from Django guys - configuration in settings.pay is only for the dev server invoked by run server command. Otherwise you need to call logger in the code. See this ticket https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/34236#comment:4
