akka.ConfigurationException: Logger specified in config can't be loaded

[MatthieuNICOLAS]

The application crashed during the night from 24/25 August.
The logs of the application show the following error repeating itself several times.
During that time, the New Relic charts show the CPU load increasing (it nearly doubled) as well as the memory, from 2.57GB to 4.28GB.

This thread talks about the error which occurred. In our case, it may also due to the RAM. Indeed, the memory was nearly full with more than 90% used at the time.

I'm not sure of what to do with this report. When (under which conditions) will we be able to close it?
