Configuration
Loading
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.
If you are using Maven to package your application, you can also make use of the Apache Maven Shade Plugin support for Resource Transformers to merge all the reference.confs on the build classpath into one.
The plugin configuration might look like this:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-shade-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.5</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<phase>package</phase>

<Main-Class>akka.Main</Main-Class>
</manifestEntries>
</transformer>
</transformers>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
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 ActorSystem startup.
# This logger prints the log messages to stdout (System.out).
# Options: OFF, ERROR, WARNING, INFO, DEBUG
stdout-loglevel = "DEBUG"
actor {
provider = "akka.cluster.ClusterActorRefProvider"
default-dispatcher {
# Throughput for default Dispatcher, set to 1 for as fair as possible
throughput = 10
}
}
remote {
# The port clients should connect to. Default is 2552.
netty.tcp.port = 4711
}
}
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 2.10.4 (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:
- Scala API: Application specific settings
- Java API: Application specific settings
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-pool
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.
Actor Deployment Configuration
Deployment settings for specific actors can be defined in the akka.actor.deployment
section of the configuration. In the deployment section it is possible to define
things like dispatcher, mailbox, router settings, and remote deployment.
Configuration of these features are described in the chapters detailing corresponding
topics. An example may look like this:
akka.actor.deployment {
# '/user/actorA/actorB' is a remote deployed actor
/actorA/actorB {
remote = "akka.tcp://[email protected]:2553"
}
# all direct children of '/user/actorC' have a dedicated dispatcher
"/actorC/*" {
dispatcher = my-dispatcher
}
# '/user/actorD/actorE' has a special priority mailbox
/actorD/actorE {
mailbox = prio-mailbox
}
# '/user/actorF/actorG/actorH' is a random pool
/actorF/actorG/actorH {
router = random-pool
nr-of-instances = 5
}
}
my-dispatcher {
fork-join-executor.parallelism-min = 10
fork-join-executor.parallelism-max = 10
}
prio-mailbox {
mailbox-type = "a.b.MyPrioMailbox"
}
Note
The deployment section for a specific actor is identified by the
path of the actor relative to /user.
You can use asterisks as wildcard matches for the actor path sections, so you could specify:
/*/sampleActor and that would match all sampleActor on that level in the hierarchy.
You can also use wildcard in the last position to match all actors at a certain level:
/someParent/*. Non-wildcard matches always have higher priority to match than wildcards, so:
/foo/bar is considered more specific than /foo/* and only the highest priority match is used.
Please note that it cannot be used to partially match section, like this: /foo*/bar, /f*o/bar etc.

# can take the values OFF, ERROR, WARNING, INFO, DEBUG, or ON. For compatibility
# reasons the setting "on" will default to "debug" level. Please note that the effective
# logging level is still determined by the global logging level of the actor system:
# for example debug level remoting events will be only logged if the system
# is running with debug level logging.
# Failures to deserialize received messages also fall under this flag.
log-remote-lifecycle-events = on
# Logging of message types with payload size in bytes larger than
# this value. Maximum detected size per message type is logged once,

# By default this feature is turned off. Activate it by setting the property to
# a value in bytes, such as 1000b. Note that for all messages larger than this
# limit there will be extra performance and scalability cost.

# reconnect attempts.
retry-gate-closed-for = 5 s
# After catastrophic communication failures that result in the loss of system
# messages or after the remote DeathWatch triggers the remote system gets
# quarantined to prevent inconsistent behavior.
# This setting controls how long the Quarantine marker will be kept around

# quarantined nodes. Such feature is not supported and any behavior between
# the affected systems after lifting the quarantine is undefined.
prune-quarantine-marker-after = 5 d
# If system messages have been exchanged between two systems (i.e. remote death
# watch or remote deployment has been used) a remote system will be marked as
# quarantined after the two system has no active association, and no
# communication happens during the time configured here.
# The only purpose of this setting is to avoid storing system message redelivery
# data (sequence number state, etc.) for an undefined amount of time leading to long
# term memory leak. Instead, if a system has been gone for this period,
# or more exactly
# - there is no association between the two systems (TCP connection, if TCP transport is used)
# - neither side has been attempting to communicate with the other
# - there are no pending system messages to deliver
# for the amount of time configured here, the remote system will be quarantined and all state
# associated with it will be dropped.

# during the time period configured here, the remoting will send out
# an individual ack.
system-message-ack-piggyback-timeout = 0.3 s

# explicitly acknowledged or negatively acknowledged are resent.
# Messages that were negatively acknowledged are always immediately
# resent.
resend-interval = 2 s
# Maximum number of unacknowledged system messages that will be resent
# each 'resend-interval'. If you watch many (> 1000) remote actors you can
# increase this value to for example 600, but a too large limit (e.g. 10000)
# may flood the connection and might cause false failure detection to trigger.
# Test such a configuration by watching all actors at the same time and stop
# all watched actors at the same time.
resend-limit = 200
# WARNING: this setting should not be not changed unless all of its consequences
# are properly understood which assumes experience with remoting internals

# this system before.
