Suppress slf4j debug messages

Question

I have a package imported through Maven which logs a lot of DEBUG level messages. Since I can't control this package's logback.xml (?), can I in some other fashion suppress the package's output to stdout?

Answer 1

Since I can't control this package's logback.xml (?)

Yes you can:

<logger name="com.example.foo" level="ERROR" />

where com.example.foo is the package you want to filter. It is typically consistent with artifact's groupId. Also consider WARN level, OFF is also possible, however it may hide important problems.
