You can get all the appenders using:
LogManager.GetLoggerRepository().GetAppenders()
You will need to iterate through the list and find your named appender.

If the "job" is metadata for the log events that occur then the job name
should be attached as a property to the logging events.
If your jobs run on a single thread then the easiest way to do this is
using the ThreadContext
void Job1()
{
using(ThreadContext.Stacks["Job"].Push("job-name"))
{
... statements and methods to perform job1
... any log statements here will have the Job property set to
'job-name'
}
}
You can retrieve the value of the Job property by using the
LookupProperty method on the LoggingEvent object.
