Spring boot – Disable banner at startup

To disable the spring boot banner logo from console or log files, we can make changes in 3 possible ways i.e. programmatically, properties or startup arguments.

Banner mode can be set in 3 possible ways:

1. OFF – Disable printing of the banner in console and log files.
2. CONSOLE – Print the banner only to console.
3. LOG – Print the banner only to the log file.

1. Disable banner programmatically

Set banner mode in program using setBannerMode(Banner.Mode.OFF) method call which starting the application.

import org.springframework.boot.Banner;
import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication; 

@SpringBootApplication 
public class Application 
{
    public static void main(String[] args) 
    {
    	SpringApplication app = new SpringApplication(Application.class);
        app.setBannerMode(Banner.Mode.OFF);
        app.run(args);
    }
}

2. Disable banner using properties

Use property key spring.main.banner-mode to set the banner mode using properties configuration.

spring.main.banner-mode=off

spring:
  main:
    banner-mode:"off"

3. Disable banner using startup arguments

Pass the property key spring.main.banner-mode as startup argument and set the mode there.

workspace> java -Dspring.main.banner-mode=off -jar spring-boot-simple-1.0.jar
