it seems like i will have to copy the embeddedServer call chain and add a custom KtorSimpleLogger implementation

You can create an instance of a NativeApplicationEngineEnvironment and pass it as the environment argument in the embeddedServer call. Here is an example:

embeddedServer(
    CIO,
    NativeApplicationEngineEnvironment(
        log = logger,
        config = MapApplicationConfig(),
        connectors = mutableListOf(EngineConnectorBuilder().apply {
            port = 9090
        }),
        modules = mutableListOf({
            routing {
                get("/") {
                    call.respondText { "Hello" }
                }
            }
        }),
        parentCoroutineContext = EmptyCoroutineContext,
        rootPath = "/",
        developmentMode = false
    )
) {
    
}.start(wait = true)

thanls for the hint, i condensed it down to this code which seems to do what i want..

server = embeddedServer(
    factory = CIO,
    environment = applicationEngineEnvironment {
        log = KtorKLogger()
        connectors += EngineConnectorBuilder().apply {
            host = serverOptions.host
            port = serverOptions.port
        }
        module {
            configureHTTP()
            configureRouting()
        }
    }
)
server.start(wait = false)

Yeah, that's better.
