How to disable JMeter log information output to console (in java)

Question

I was developing a jmeter test plan from java code, and I've installed jmeter api from maven.

It runs successfully. However, it shows lots of needless information on the console.

Here is my environment:

JavaSE 1.7
JMeter 3.0
Windows 7

And I'm forced to do that although I know it's the old version of java and jmeter.

I've tried to configure jmeter.properties, logkit.xml and log4j.conf file, but it remains the same.

The information showing on console looks like:

Can anyone help me?

If you are using the Maven plugin of JMeter, have you tried configuring the pom.xml as explained here: https://github.com/jmeter-maven-plugin/jmeter-maven-plugin/wiki/Log-Levels — allu, Jul 19 '19 at 10:16
I'm also guessing that you are using version 2.0.0 if you are using JDK 1.7. I would suggest updating to JDK 1.8 and using version 2.9.0 (latest version at the time of writing this) — Ardesco, Jul 19 '19 at 10:29

If you want to suppress JMeter logging you can set the log level for JMeter to FATAL_ERROR by providing the relevant JMeter Properties

<configuration>
    <propertiesJMeter>
        <log_level.jmeter>FATAL_ERROR</log_level.jmeter>
        <log_level.jmeter.junit>FATAL_ERROR</log_level.jmeter.junit>
        <log_level.jorphan>FATAL_ERROR</log_level.jorphan>
    </propertiesJMeter>
</configuration>

In general you should not see any of JMeter log entries in the console so it seems you have configuration overrides somewhere so it would be better to revert the changes you made rather than applying my solution.
