Dj Signals Panel
Display registered Django signals and receivers, showing what fires and where.
Overview
Dj Signals Panel is a Django admin extension that gives you full visibility into your project's signal landscape - which signals are registered, which receivers are connected, and what that receiver code actually does.
It works great standalone, and also pairs seamlessly as a panel inside Django Control Room - a centralized dashboard that brings all your Django admin panels together in one place. Visit djangocontrolroom.com to learn more.
