Solved, tl;dr I was using port: 6066 instead of 7077,
I got confused because of this message in the log when I submit to the legacy port: [info] - org.apache.spark.launcher.app.ActivitiesSortingAggregateJob - 16/09/26 11:43:27 WARN RestSubmissionClient: Unable to connect to server spark://ponyo:7077. [info] - org.apache.spark.launcher.app.ActivitiesSortingAggregateJob - Warning: Master endpoint spark://ponyo:7077 was not a REST server. Falling back to legacy submission gateway instead. That's why I started using the 6066 (rest), that was a some time ago. But it seems that for some unknown reason to me sparkLauncher listeners don't work with the rest port, absolutely all the logs (ie: client, master, worker, driver) don't show anything at all. Well, I hope I didn't make anyone spend too much time on this and saved some other soul a few days with this.
