I have a utility (written in Scala and built with SBT) that includes a logback.xml:

<configuration debug="true">
    <appender name="STDOUT"
              class="ch.qos.logback.core.ConsoleAppender">
        <encoder class="ch.qos.logback.classic.encoder.PatternLayoutEncoder">
            <pattern>%d{ISO8601} | %-5level | %thread | %logger{1} | %m%n</pattern>
        </encoder>
    </appender>

    <logger name="com.typesafe.sslconfig.ssl.ConfigSSLContextBuilder" level="ERROR" />
    <logger name="com.typesafe.sslconfig.ssl.AlgorithmChecker" level="ERROR" />

    <root level="ERROR">
        <appender-ref ref="STDOUT" />
    </root>

</configuration>

I added the ‘debug=“true”’ to help me diagnose why, despite the <logger/> elements that attempt to set the loglevel of log messages from the packages defined in the “name” attribute to “ERROR”, I’m seeing “WARN” messages in the console output when I run the command.  I fragment of the first few lines of output appears below:

<command output>

There of two things of note in the output above:  there are log messages that appear BEFORE we see the logging output due to the logback “debug=true” option.  Second, we see many of these WARN messages from com.typesafe.sslconfig.ssl.ConfigSSLContextBuilder both before and after the logback debug output.

Why is logback not suppressing the [WARN] messages?  

The com.typesafe.sslconfig.ssl code uses akka.event.Logging. I’ve tried to look into this code, and quickly got lost.  I’m not sure what low-level logging this package is using, but whatever it is, it isn’t being captured by logback.  

I suspect I need to use some logback bridge, although I’ve tried various and get errors that I have multiple slf4j providers and it makes no difference to the logging output.

How do I track down what is going on here?
