Reporter Server starts with message: Error: SLF4J: Failed to load class StaticLoggerBinder

Products

• Automic Dollar Universe

Issue/Introduction

After updating Reporter from version 6.10.71 to 6.10.121, the following message appears in the console or startup logs:

Reporter server is launched in background in nohangup mode.SLF4J: Failed to load class "org.slf4j.impl.StaticLoggerBinder".SLF4J: Defaulting to no-operation (NOP) logger implementationSLF4J: See http://www.slf4j.org/codes.html#StaticLoggerBinder for further details.

Environment

• Dollar Universe Reporter Server 6.10.121

Cause

This is essentially benign, not a functional regression. Here's what's going on:Where it comes from: The unistartrep/unistartrep.bat launcher starts com.orsyp.reppub.server.ReporterStartup as a background Java process and just cats its startup log to the console. The SLF4J lines are that JVM's own stdout, not an installer error.

Resolution

This message is benign and does not indicate a functional regression or installation failure.

1. Confirm the installation log states Installation successfully completed.
2. Verify that the Reporter server is operational.
3. Ignore the SLF4J warning as it does not result in the loss of Reporter diagnostic logs.
