Django how to use connection_created signal

I am looking to find out when a connection is made to my Django database, or when my Django server is restarted. I found the connection_created Django signal. The description is:

Sent when the database wrapper makes the initial connection to the database. This is particularly useful if you’d like to send any post connection commands to the SQL backend.

So I think using this signal will be a good solution for my case. I want to run a function once the connection is made. I can't find any documentations on the use cases of this signal. connection_created.connect is probably the function to use. This function takes in a bunch of arguments, but the ones that are relevant are self, receiver, sender and weak. Does anyone know how I can use these arguments and this function to run my function at a new connection instance?

Also if anyone has any alternative solutions other than this signal, I'd love to hear them.
