Oh! So you're right. That's what feed back is for. <logger name="abc" I see the name I need to use now.
My 2nd part of this question is, why should I embed into code a configuration dependency of " abc" , there needs to be a get list/iterator of loggers API to prevent having ot keep code and log4j2.xml in sync, right?

You don't have any loggers configured named "VIDEO", "DLA" or "DEVICES". You do have appenders with those names. All those getLoggerConfig calls should end up returning the root loggerConfig.
