How to prevent logback from emitting repeated "Empty watch file list. Disabling" messages

Question

I have logback configured with the logback.xml located here: http://pastebin.com/KuqUEkXy.

Every minute, I see a log message emitted of the form:

18:26:21,486 |-INFO in ReconfigureOnChangeTask(born:1478715201485) - Empty watch file list. Disabling

Why is this happening and how can I get rid of these?

Answer 1

In your logback configuration (logback.xml), you have to turn OFF (or better, just remove) the scan attributes in the configuration element

Answer 2

Just remove the scan="true" in the first line of configuration
