How can I configure the logging of an ESIntegeTestCase?

Bridging not works via slf4j.  
I tried to set a custom ESLoggerFactory with a custom noop ESLogger, no luck.  
Loggers.disableConsoleLogging() had no effect.

Is there any way to change the log level of it or turning it off?

I think you can add a log4j.xml file in src/test/resources and define whichever log level you want there.

Yes. You can use the [TestLogging annotation](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/blob/c6938896aa59624dcdb57c89253ad3de3e165f17/test-framework/src/main/java/org/elasticsearch/test/junit/annotations/TestLogging.java). Alternatively, you can just set the appropriate system property (e.g., "-Des.logger.level=(DEBUG|ERROR|INFO|WARN|TRACE)" for the root logger).

I set the argLine configuration below to the maven surfire plugin but it didn't work:  
-ea -server -Des.logger.level=WARN
