Hi, When I try running my application that does not log anything I always see the following being dumped to stdout: 17:53:57,102 |-INFO in ch.qos.logback.classic.LoggerContext[default] - Could NOT find resource [logback-test.xml] 17:53:57,102 |-INFO in ch.qos.logback.classic.LoggerContext[default] - Found resource [logback.xml] at [file:/C:/Users/Gili/Documents/jperipheral/java/netbeans/build/classes/logback.xml] 17:53:57,103 |-WARN in ch.qos.logback.classic.LoggerContext[default] - Resource [logback.xml] occurs multiple times on the classpath. 17:53:57,103 |-WARN in ch.qos.logback.classic.LoggerContext[default] - Resource [logback.xml] occurs at [file:/C:/Users/Gili/Documents/jperipheral/java/netbeans/build/classes/logback.xml] 17:53:57,103 |-WARN in ch.qos.logback.classic.LoggerContext[default] - Resource [logback.xml] occurs at [jar:file:/C:/Users/Gili/Documents/jace/trunk/release/lib/jace.jar!/logback.xml] 17:53:57,155 |-INFO in ch.qos.logback.classic.joran.action.ConfigurationAction - debug attribute not set 17:53:57,155 |-INFO in ch.qos.logback.core.joran.action.AppenderAction - About to instantiate appender of type [ch.qos.logback.core.ConsoleAppender] 17:53:57,157 |-INFO in ch.qos.logback.core.joran.action.AppenderAction - Naming appender as [RootConsoleAppender] 17:53:57,168 |-INFO in ch.qos.logback.core.joran.action.NestedComplexPropertyIA - Pushing component [filter] on top of the object stack. 17:53:57,184 |-INFO in ch.qos.logback.core.joran.action.NestedComplexPropertyIA - Pushing component [layout] on top of the object stack. 17:53:57,200 |-INFO in ch.qos.logback.core.joran.action.AppenderAction - Popping appender named [RootConsoleAppender] from the object stack 17:53:57,200 |-INFO in ch.qos.logback.classic.joran.action.LevelAction - root level set to WARN 17:53:57,201 |-INFO in ch.qos.logback.core.joran.action.AppenderRefAction - Attaching appender named [RootConsoleAppender] to Logger[root] I've got logback.xml in the default package containing: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <configuration> <appender class="ch.qos.logback.core.ConsoleAppender" name="RootConsoleAppender"> <filter class="ch.qos.logback.classic.filter.ThresholdFilter"> <level>warn</level> </filter> <layout class="ch.qos.logback.classic.PatternLayout"> <pattern>%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss},%p,%c,%t %m%n</pattern> </layout> </appender> <root> <level value="warn"/> <appender-ref ref="RootConsoleAppender"/> </root> </configuration> I was under the impression that Logback only outputs this level of verbosity if I set debug="true" in the configuration file, but this isn't the case. Any idea what's causing this? Thanks, Gili -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Configuration-initialization-is-too-verbose-tp24652550...
