Prevent django admin changes from creating a LogEntry

Question

I want to use the Django admin so I include django.contrib.admin in my middleware, but by default this adds a django_log_entry table and triggers the creation of a log entry on all additions, changes, and deletions. How do I prevent this behavior? Should I overwrite the LogEntry model or can I simply unregister it? I can't seem to find any documentation.

I'm using Django 2.1

I've created a Django Python package that allows you to disable admin log entries. To use it:

1. Install from PyPI:

   pip install django-admin-logs

2. Include it in your INSTALLED_APPS settings:

    INSTALLED_APPS = (
        ...
        'django_admin_logs',
        ...
    )

3. Also add the following to your settings file:

   DJANGO_ADMIN_LOGS_ENABLED = False

This will stop Django from creating admin log entries.
