Here's a solution proposed here that's slightly modified and works in v1.10.2 without having to change any vendor files:

$.fn.dataTableExt.sErrMode = "console";

$.fn.dataTableExt.oApi._fnLog = function (oSettings, iLevel, sMesg, tn) {
  var sAlert = (oSettings === null)
    ? "DataTables warning: "+sMesg
    : "DataTables warning (table id = '"+oSettings.sTableId+"'): "+sMesg
  ;

  if (tn) {
    sAlert += ". For more information about this error, please see "+
              "http://datatables.net/tn/"+tn
    ;
  }

  if (iLevel === 0) {
    if ($.fn.dataTableExt.sErrMode == "alert") {
      alert(sAlert);
    } else if ($.fn.dataTableExt.sErrMode == "thow") {
      throw sAlert;
    } else  if ($.fn.dataTableExt.sErrMode == "console") {
      console.log(sAlert);
    } else  if ($.fn.dataTableExt.sErrMode == "mute") {}

    return;
  } else if (console !== undefined && console.log) {
    console.log(sAlert);
  }
}
