I tried using Dependencies Management as mentioned in this question but it did not work for me:
spring-boot upgrade from 1.3.2 to 1.3.3: logback issue

Answer 1

Is upgrading to Spring Boot 1.3.4 an option ?
Although not exactly the same symptoms, it still points to logback dependency issues in 1.3.3. It seems to be fixed in 1.3.4: https://github.com/logstash/logstash-logback-encoder/issues/153
Ugrading to Spring Boot 1.3.4 fixed this for me
