I have deployed a Django application on a uWSGI server, which has the following middleware

# myapp/middleware.py

from django.utils.deprecation import MiddlewareMixin

class LogUserMiddleware(MiddlewareMixin):
    def process_request(self, request):
        request.META['REMOTE_USER'] = 'test'

The middleware is added in the settings.py file as well

# myapp/settings.py

MIDDLEWARE = [
    ...
    'myapp.middleware.LogUserMiddleware',
    ...
]

Then in the uWSGI config file also the logvar is used

...
log-format = %(ltime) %(addr){uWSGI} : %(method) %(uri) %(status) %(REMOTE_USER)
...

But still the logs show as

19/May/2024:09:01:49 +0000 127.0.0.1{uWSGI} : GET /health_check 200 -

Basically the logvar is getting replaced with – instead of showing test

Is there any extra config to be done?
