Reasons why Logback is recommended for Akka logging

[Martin Ford]

Hi,

In the Akka documentation Typesafe recommend using Logback as the runtime SLF4J backend logger. I'm just wondering what the reasons are for that recommendation? Can anyone enlighten me?

Many thanks

Martin

Because it is "good" ?  :)  The author of LOG4J started over and created Logback with several key performance improvements and additional flexibility.

Anyone have any feedback after trying Log4J v2 with akka?

The only thing I know about Log4J 2 is that if you use the asyncappender, it is fast.

However, if you use the Logback asyncappender, it is also fast.

A logging framework has to implement SLF4J and not be a bottleneck -- Play and Akka use logback and it works fine.

Anyone tried log4j2 with Akka ?

Thanks,
Monika

I have not tried it, but here is something that you might find useful: https://github.com/hseeberger/akka-log4j

An alternative is to use log4j2 with the slf4j binding and the Akka slf4j logger.

Hi,

Where I work, we're using Akka with log4j2 (through slf4j binding) in production.
We're handling billions of daily requests and so far it works flawlessly :-)

Thanks a lot  Adam  , even i tried creating a sample project to check feasibility of log4j 2 with akka it works .
