Akka SLF4J logback configuration and usage

Question

I have done the following steps to try and configure logging for my akka application:

• created an application.conf file and placed it in src/main/resources.

Answer 1

try using this application.conf:

akka {
  loggers = ["akka.event.slf4j.Slf4jLogger"]
  loglevel = "DEBUG"
  logging-filter = "akka.event.slf4j.Slf4jLoggingFilter"
}

I also have noticed that you probably have wrong class name in you logback config for file appender. You have but it should be .

Another issue may be the path to file. Try using absolute file path instead of relative. /absolute/path/testFile.log

You can also try to change logback version to 1.2.3. Here are akka docs on configuring sl4j: link
