I am trying to install application event but it is not running at startup

[Deactivated User]

My bet is that the event was already triggered

[Deactivated User]

but let me confirm

[Deactivated User]

https://github.com/ktorio/ktor/blob/afa1a2fd11131620b6870d013ca65039b7ce0c63/ktor-server/ktor-server-host-common/src/io/ktor/server/engine/ApplicationEngineEnvironmentReloading.kt#L257-L263

that event is triggered before modules are loaded, so probably relevant when setting up the environment.

There is another event that triggers after the modules have been loaded (triggered in that same function): ApplicationStarted

[Deactivated User]

It is used for example for the engines:
https://github.com/ktorio/ktor/blob/afa1a2fd11131620b6870d013ca65039b7ce0c63/ktor-server/ktor-server-host-common/src/io/ktor/server/engine/BaseApplicationEngine.kt#L29

And it is referenced here: https://github.com/ktorio/ktor/blob/afa1a2fd11131620b6870d013ca65039b7ce0c63/ktor-server/ktor-server-core/src/io/ktor/features/CallLogging.kt#L67
But I bet, it is misleading and it is not being triggered since you install that feature after that event is triggered
