Description

Enhancement proposal:

Logging can be configured through Spring Boot, which is great.
But since the configuration contract can be quite fragil especially with for example different Logging Implementations and /or different Logging configurations in the classpath, it would be great to have for example after Spring Boot Startup the possibility to log the Logging configuration, which Spring Boot uses.

Ideally the logging of the Logging Configuration would not depend on any logging Library.
