RE: inheritance of appenders from Parent

Thanks For quick reply.

But my requirement is different. I want to do Component-Level Logging which means I have root logger and various child loggers of it.

For a particular logger I want to turn Debug Level on for Console Appender Whereas rest should work as it is. How should I do that programmatically

static void Main(string[] args)
{
Logger a = LogManager.GetLogger("a").Logger as Logger;

            a.Additivity = true;
            a.Repository.Configured = true;


            Logger ab = LogManager.GetLogger("a.b").Logger as Logger;


            Logger ac = LogManager.GetLogger("a.c").Logger as Logger;

            ConsoleAppender ca = new ConsoleAppender();
            ca.Name = "Test";
            ca.Layout = new SimpleLayout();
            ca.Threshold = Level.ERROR;
            ca.ActivateOptions();

            a.AddAppender(ca);

            ConsoleAppender ar = (ConsoleAppender)FindAppender(ab,"Test");
            ar.Threshold = Level.DEBUG;

ILog abLog = LogManager.GetLogger("a.b");
abLog.Debug("Test Error message for ab");

            ILog acLog = LogManager.GetLogger("a.c");
            acLog.Warn("Test Error message for ac");
  }

I should not be able to log Warning Message for "a.c".

But I found that Console Appender show both Debug and Warning message. How can I avoid this?

Thanks

The Logger.GetAppender method does not get inherited appenders. It only
returns appenders defined on the Logger istelf.

To get all the appenders you need to look at all the parent loggers as
well:

Appender FindAppender(Logger log, string appenderName)
{
for(Logger l=log; l!=null; l=l.Parent)
{
    Appender a=l.GetAppender(appenderName);
    if (a != null)
    {
      return a;
    }
    if(!l.Additivity)
    {
      break;
    }
}
return null;
}

Cheers,
Nicko
