Hi @SimonBergerard
Spark configuration parameters precedence (left is low and right is high) of the order is:
spark-defaults.conf --> spark-submit/spark-shell --> spark code (scala/java/python)
If you want to see the parameter values you can run with --verbose mode.
spark-submit --verbose
Please recheck the spark-submit command and parameters once again.
--conf spark.eventLog.enabled=true
--conf spark.eventLog.dir=<directory>
--conf spark.submit.deployMode=cluster
