DRAFT KB-XXXX Excessive logging after upgrading to Appian 17.2 or above

Symptoms

After upgrading Appian to 17.2 or higher and applying a hotfix package, the following message shows up during the application server startup:

2018-02-03 14:54:52,352 ERROR [stderr] (MSC service thread 1-5) SLF4J: Class path contains multiple SLF4J bindings.
2018-02-03 14:54:52,353 ERROR [stderr] (MSC service thread 1-5) SLF4J: Found binding in [vfs:/apps/appian/ear/suite.ear/lib/slf4j-simple-1.7.21.jar/org/slf4j/impl/StaticLoggerBinder.class]

After the application server has started successfully, logging messages such as these appear constantly in the application server log:
