Problem Definition

Slightly misleading log messages logged for all deployment projects to atlassian-bamboo.log when the server is paused and the deployment dashboard is visited or on REST call to rest/api/latest/deploy/dashboard/?_=

2016-08-31 16:06:38,536 INFO [http-bio-8085-exec-9] [DeploymentPermitterImpl] Could not start deployment to PRD1 as the server is paused
2016-08-31 16:06:38,537 INFO [http-bio-8085-exec-9] [DeploymentPermitterImpl] Could not start deployment to PRD2 as the server is paused
2016-08-31 16:06:38,538 INFO [http-bio-8085-exec-9] [DeploymentPermitterImpl] Could not start deployment to PRD3 as the server is paused

This can be concerning as a Bamboo Administrator as it appears that Bamboo is trying to execute deployment projects but has failed only because the server is paused. E.g. When I've imported my Production export zip into a test instance.

Suggested Solution

Rephrase the log message or only log it when deployment is actually attempted.
