How to fix issue Akka version is not supported by Typesafe Console for running typesafe console in Play 2.4.2 version?

Question

I am trying to setup typesafe console to track akka actors and nodes. Tried to find documentation for Play version 2.4.2, but didn't find exact help. I added below config :

Plugin.sbt : addSbtPlugin("com.typesafe.sbt" % "sbt-atmos" % "0.3.2")
build.sbt : atmosSettings 

When i run activator complie, then get below error:

ava.lang.RuntimeException: Akka version is not supported by Typesafe Console: 2.4-M2
at scala.sys.package$.error(package.scala:27)
at com.typesafe.sbt.atmos.AtmosRun$.supportedAkkaVersion(AtmosRun.scala:65)

at com.typesafe.sbt.SbtAtmos$$anonfun$atmosDefaultSettings$26.apply(SbtAtmos.scala:159)

How to fix this issue? Is typesafe console not supporting Play 2.4.2 version? Is there any other tool to track Akka nodes in real time to keep track of actors.

Answer 1

Development of Console has been discountinued by Typesafe. You can fork and fix or, alternatively...

• Kamon
• Akka Tracing (which uses Zipkin)
• Grafana
• Graphite
• StatsD
• DataDog
• New Relic

Some of which have Docker images that you can use to play with.
