Configuration

You can start using Akka without defining any configuration, since sensible default values are provided. Later on you might need to amend the settings to change the default behavior or adapt for specific runtime environments. Typical examples of settings that you might amend:

  • log level and logger backend
  • enable remoting
  • message serializers
  • definition of routers
  • tuning of dispatchers

Akka uses the Typesafe Config Library, which might also be a good choice for the configuration of your own application or library built with or without Akka. This library is implemented in Java with no external dependencies; you should have a look at its documentation (in particular about ConfigFactory), which is only summarized in the following.

Warning

If you use Akka from the Scala REPL from the 2.9.x series, and you do not provide your own ClassLoader to the ActorSystem, start the REPL with "-Yrepl-sync" to work around a deficiency in the REPLs provided Context ClassLoader.

Where configuration is read from

All configuration for Akka is held within instances of ActorSystem, or put differently, as viewed from the outside, ActorSystem is the only consumer of configuration information. While constructing an actor system, you can either pass in a Config object or not, where the second case is equivalent to passing ConfigFactory.load() (with the right class loader). This means roughly that the default is to parse all application.conf, application.json and application.properties found at the root of the class path—please refer to the aforementioned documentation for details. The actor system then merges in all reference.conf resources found at the root of the class path to form the fallback configuration, i.e. it internally uses

appConfig.withFallback(ConfigFactory.defaultReference(classLoader))

The philosophy is that code never contains default values, but instead relies upon their presence in the reference.conf supplied with the library in question.

Highest precedence is given to overrides given as system properties, see the HOCON specification (near the bottom). Also noteworthy is that the application configuration—which defaults to application—may be overridden using the config.resource property (there are more, please refer to the Config docs).

Note

If you are writing an Akka application, keep you configuration in application.conf at the root of the class path. If you are writing an Akka-based library, keep its configuration in reference.conf at the root of the JAR file.

When using JarJar, OneJar, Assembly or any jar-bundler

Warning

Akka's configuration approach relies heavily on the notion of every module/jar having its own reference.conf file, all of these will be discovered by the configuration and loaded. Unfortunately this also means that if you put/merge multiple jars into the same jar, you need to merge all the reference.confs as well. Otherwise all defaults will be lost and Akka will not function.

Custom application.conf

A custom application.conf might look like this:

# In this file you can override any option defined in the reference files.
# Copy in parts of the reference files and modify as you please.

akka {

  # Loggers to register at boot time (akka.event.Logging$DefaultLogger logs
  # to STDOUT)
  loggers = ["akka.event.slf4j.Slf4jLogger"]

  # Log level used by the configured loggers (see "loggers") as soon
  # as they have been started; before that, see "stdout-loglevel"
  # Options: OFF, ERROR, WARNING, INFO, DEBUG
  loglevel = "DEBUG"

  # Log level for the very basic logger activated during AkkaApplication startup
  # Options: OFF, ERROR, WARNING, INFO, DEBUG
  stdout-loglevel = "DEBUG"

  actor {
    default-dispatcher {
      # Throughput for default Dispatcher, set to 1 for as fair as possible
      throughput = 10
    }
  }

  remote {
    server {
      # The port clients should connect to. Default is 2552 (AKKA)
      port = 2562
    }
  }
}

Including files

Sometimes it can be useful to include another configuration file, for example if you have one application.conf with all environment independent settings and then override some settings for specific environments.

Specifying system property with -Dconfig.resource=/dev.conf will load the dev.conf file, which includes the application.conf

dev.conf:

include "application"

akka {
  loglevel = "DEBUG"
}

More advanced include and substitution mechanisms are explained in the HOCON specification.

Logging of Configuration

If the system or config property akka.log-config-on-start is set to on, then the complete configuration at INFO level when the actor system is started. This is useful when you are uncertain of what configuration is used.

If in doubt, you can also easily and nicely inspect configuration objects before or after using them to construct an actor system:

Welcome to Scala version 2.10.2 (Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM, Java 1.6.0_27).
Type in expressions to have them evaluated.
Type :help for more information.

scala> import com.typesafe.config._
import com.typesafe.config._

scala> ConfigFactory.parseString("a.b=12")
res0: com.typesafe.config.Config = Config(SimpleConfigObject({"a" : {"b" : 12}}))

scala> res0.root.render
res1: java.lang.String =
{
    # String: 1
    "a" : {
        # String: 1
        "b" : 12
    }
}

The comments preceding every item give detailed information about the origin of the setting (file & line number) plus possible comments which were present, e.g. in the reference configuration. The settings as merged with the reference and parsed by the actor system can be displayed like this:

final ActorSystem system = ActorSystem.create();
System.out.println(system.settings());
// this is a shortcut for system.settings().config().root().render()

A Word About ClassLoaders

In several places of the configuration file it is possible to specify the fully-qualified class name of something to be instantiated by Akka. This is done using Java reflection, which in turn uses a ClassLoader. Getting the right one in challenging environments like application containers or OSGi bundles is not always trivial, the current approach of Akka is that each ActorSystem implementation stores the current thread’s context class loader (if available, otherwise just its own loader as in this.getClass.getClassLoader) and uses that for all reflective accesses. This implies that putting Akka on the boot class path will yield NullPointerException from strange places: this is simply not supported.

Application specific settings

The configuration can also be used for application specific settings. A good practice is to place those settings in an Extension, as described in:

Configuring multiple ActorSystem

If you have more than one ActorSystem (or you're writing a library and have an ActorSystem that may be separate from the application's) you may want to separate the configuration for each system.

Given that ConfigFactory.load() merges all resources with matching name from the whole class path, it is easiest to utilize that functionality and differentiate actor systems within the hierarchy of the configuration:

myapp1 {
  akka.loglevel = "WARNING"
  my.own.setting = 43
}
myapp2 {
  akka.loglevel = "ERROR"
  app2.setting = "appname"
}
my.own.setting = 42
my.other.setting = "hello"
val config = ConfigFactory.load()
val app1 = ActorSystem("MyApp1", config.getConfig("myapp1").withFallback(config))
val app2 = ActorSystem("MyApp2",
  config.getConfig("myapp2").withOnlyPath("akka").withFallback(config))

These two samples demonstrate different variations of the “lift-a-subtree” trick: in the first case, the configuration accessible from within the actor system is this

akka.loglevel = "WARNING"
my.own.setting = 43
my.other.setting = "hello"
// plus myapp1 and myapp2 subtrees

while in the second one, only the “akka” subtree is lifted, with the following result

akka.loglevel = "ERROR"
my.own.setting = 42
my.other.setting = "hello"
// plus myapp1 and myapp2 subtrees

Note

The configuration library is really powerful, explaining all features exceeds the scope affordable here. In particular not covered are how to include other configuration files within other files (see a small example at Including files) and copying parts of the configuration tree by way of path substitutions.

You may also specify and parse the configuration programmatically in other ways when instantiating the ActorSystem.

import akka.actor.ActorSystem
import com.typesafe.config.ConfigFactory
    val customConf = ConfigFactory.parseString("""
      akka.actor.deployment {
        /my-service {
          router = round-robin
          nr-of-instances = 3
        }
      }
      """)
    // ConfigFactory.load sandwiches customConfig between default reference
    // config and default overrides, and then resolves it.
    val system = ActorSystem("MySystem", ConfigFactory.load(customConf))

Reading configuration from a custom location

You can replace or supplement application.conf either in code or using system properties.

If you're using ConfigFactory.load() (which Akka does by default) you can replace application.conf by defining -Dconfig.resource=whatever, -Dconfig.file=whatever, or -Dconfig.url=whatever.

From inside your replacement file specified with -Dconfig.resource and friends, you can include "application" if you still want to use application.{conf,json,properties} as well. Settings specified before include "application" would be overridden by the included file, while those after would override the included file.

In code, there are many customization options.

There are several overloads of ConfigFactory.load(); these allow you to specify something to be sandwiched between system properties (which override) and the defaults (from reference.conf), replacing the usual application.{conf,json,properties} and replacing -Dconfig.file and friends.

The simplest variant of ConfigFactory.load() takes a resource basename (instead of application); myname.conf, myname.json, and myname.properties would then be used instead of application.{conf,json,properties}.

The most flexible variant takes a Config object, which you can load using any method in ConfigFactory. For example you could put a config string in code using ConfigFactory.parseString() or you could make a map and ConfigFactory.parseMap(), or you could load a file.

You can also combine your custom config with the usual config, that might look like:

// make a Config with just your special setting
Config myConfig =
  ConfigFactory.parseString("something=somethingElse");
// load the normal config stack (system props,
// then application.conf, then reference.conf)
Config regularConfig =
  ConfigFactory.load();
// override regular stack with myConfig
Config combined =
  myConfig.withFallback(regularConfig);
// put the result in between the overrides
// (system props) and defaults again
Config complete =
  ConfigFactory.load(combined);
// create ActorSystem
ActorSystem system =
  ActorSystem.create("myname", complete);

When working with Config objects, keep in mind that there are three "layers" in the cake:

  • ConfigFactory.defaultOverrides() (system properties)
  • the app's settings
  • ConfigFactory.defaultReference() (reference.conf)

The normal goal is to customize the middle layer while leaving the other two alone.

  • ConfigFactory.load() loads the whole stack
  • the overloads of ConfigFactory.load() let you specify a different middle layer
  • the ConfigFactory.parse() variations load single files or resources

To stack two layers, use override.withFallback(fallback); try to keep system props (defaultOverrides()) on top and reference.conf (defaultReference()) on the bottom.

Do keep in mind, you can often just add another include statement in application.conf rather than writing code. Includes at the top of application.conf will be overridden by the rest of application.conf, while those at the bottom will override the earlier stuff.
