How to do logging with Spark in local mode?

Question

Is it possible to do logging on certain path - which will be provided as input argument - in Apache Spark while working in local mode?

val conf = new SparkConf().
  setAppName("SparkProgrammingGuide").
  setMaster(master).
  set("spark.eventLog.enabled", "true").
  set("spark.eventLog.dir", "file:///home/USER")
val sc = new SparkContext(conf)

Original answer by @Rohan

you can enable event logging and path configuration through the SparkContext using the following property names: spark.eventLog.enabled and spark.eventLog.dir. The documentation for that can be found here.

I have run spark in local mode with spark.eventLog.dir parameter and the file with logs has been created. Spark History Server can be used for viewing and analyzing these logs.
