Disable emailing 503 errors to admins while maintenance mode is enabled

Python version 3.8

Django version 3.1.4

Package version 0.15.1

I think it would be nice to have a setting like this:

# Don't send 503 error emails to admins while maintenance mode is active
MAINTENANCE_MODE_DISABLE_503_EMAILS = True

By default, Django sends emails to site admins for HTTP errors >= 500. It would be nice if this could be turned off while maintenance mode is on, since these errors would be expected at that time.

@aliceni81 you can upgrade to 0.16.1.

Thx!

settings.MAINTENANCE_MODE is static and cannot be changed when run “maintenance_mode <on|off>”. So if I run the command or by other methods to change the maintenance mode, the error email still will be sent to admin. Will this filter be improved in the future? something like the following codes?

class RequireNotMaintenanceMode503(logging.Filter): “”" Filters out 503 errors if maintenance mode is activated. “”"

def filter(self, record):
    """
    Return False if maintenance mode is on and
    the given record has a status code of 503.
    """
    status_code = getattr(record, 'status_code', None)

    # If maintenance mode is defined in settings, it has priority.
    maintenance_mode = None
    if settings.MAINTENANCE_MODE is not None:
        maintenance_mode = settings.MAINTENANCE_MODE
    else:
        backend = get_maintenance_mode_backend()
        maintenance_mode = backend.get_value()

    if maintenance_mode and status_code == 503:
        return False
    return True
