It is quite easy to modify its default value. Solr is using default logging values that started to use in jvm. It can be bound as a start parameter or can be externally defined in ../tomcat/conf/logging.properties.
Simply it is enough to remove all contents (backup first) in ../tomcat/conf/logging.properties and write .level = SEVERE This change will make root checkbox from unset to severe. Of course you can switch it to WARNING or INFO too. You can observe changes from http://localhost:8080/solr/admin/logging or simply ~/admin/logging pages.
