Try this:

1. Exclude spring-boot-starter-logging e.g.

   
       org.springframework.boot
       spring-boot-starter
       
           
               org.springframework.boot
               spring-boot-starter-logging
           
       
   
   

2. Add dependencies for your logging interface e.g. slf4j

   
       org.apache.logging.log4j
       log4j-slf4j-impl
       2.0.2
   
   

3. Add other logging implementations pointing to chosen logging interface e.g.

   
       org.slf4j
       jcl-over-slf4j
   
   
       org.slf4j
       jul-to-slf4j
   
   
       org.slf4j
       log4j-over-slf4j
   
   

4. Add your target logging implementation e.g.

   
       org.apache.logging.log4j
       log4j-api
       2.0.2
   
   
       org.apache.logging.log4j
       log4j-core
       2.0.2
   
   

And it should work.
