Akka actor logging not writing to file

Question

I\'m attempting to log to a file rather than stdout.

My application.conf (in src/main/resources/):

akka {
  event-handlers = [\"akka.event.slf4j.Slf4         


        

Answer 1

If you are using Akka 2.3.3 as stated in response to my comment, then your config around logging is out of date (using old logging config setup). Try replacing your logging config with:

akka {
  loggers = ["akka.event.slf4j.Slf4jLogger"]
  loglevel = "DEBUG"
}

If that does not work let me know and I'll advise on another solution.
