Hello Shimrit, Do you have a particular reason for using log4j rather than slf4j?
Are you using https://github.com/hseeberger/akka-log4j ? If so, it looks like this (like the standard slf4j logger) exposes the 'akkaSource' value as an MDC context parameter. This contains the address of the actor. The rest is then a matter of log4j configuration, I'm afraid I'm not familiar enough with slf4j to help there. Does that help?
