Description
I would be great if the System.err stream of StandardErrorCallback could be deactivated in junit tests.
Because, if the splunk logger is configured globally (which makes sense), then junit logs would always try write to a non-existing splunk host (eg when run in a gitlab pipeline).
Thus, an optional to disable the error stream or the splunk error logging should be added.

Research direction
Start by locating StandardErrorCallback and the JUnit tests that exercise the Splunk logger. Determine where System.err is written and how the logger is configured globally; done means JUnit runs can opt out of the error stream or Splunk error logging without attempting to contact a nonexistent host.
