title: Spring boot - Cannot turn off logging
body: <p>I am trying to turn off the console output in STS for a spring boot application using the application.properties file.</p>
  
  <p>Setting the value logging.level.root does seem to have some effect but I can never turn it off completely and nor can I turn off the auto configuration report output.</p>
  
  <pre><code>logging.level.root=OFF
  spring.main.banner-mode=OFF
  application.version=@project.version@
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The banner does get turned off by the property spring.main.banner-mode.</p>
  
  <p>For some reason with the above properties I still get DEBUG output from spring on startup:</p>
  
  <pre><code> 2017-05-09 15:33:16.744 DEBUG 11772 --- [           main] .b.l.ClasspathLoggingApplicationListener : Application started with classpath:
   2017-05-09 15:33:16.798 DEBUG 11772 --- [           main] o.s.boot.SpringApplication               : Loading source class 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>There are more lines telling me which properties files are being loaded but I dont want to fill up this post with them.</p>
  
  <p>Following from this I then get the autoconfiguration report output.</p>
  
  <p>I am wondering if I have a configuration issue and if this would cause spring to continue to output on start up?</p>
