Hi! I'm using Akka with Java, and I'm trying to figure out the best way to "share" logging between actors and regular classes that also do logging. We're using slf4j both with our actors and other classes, so we already have everything with the same pattern and in the same logfile. From what I've learned, Akka does asynchronous logging, and using the slf4j API directly in our other classes performs logging synchronously. I guess if we want to be consistent, we should do all logging async, and hence we should use the Akka logging everywhere. So I'm wondering if there are any guidelines/best practices how to achieve this? I have been thinking of a few approaches:
- Change all our classes to take the ActorSystem/EventBus as a parameter. Use this to construct the LoggingAdapter. However, this is quite intrusive, and also introduces a dependency to akka from classes that might be shared with other non-akka modules. - Create a facade on top of Akka/slf4j. Would solve the above problem, but also seems like a lot of extra work, considering slf4j already is a facade. - Just ignore it all and don't care if we have both async and sync logging. I'm interested to learn how other people on this list solve this issue.
