Nicko,
Thanks for the information. What I really need is the mechanism by which to set the logger level of the appenders that I have found. I can find the appenders based on an earlier e-mail you sent me...THANKS!!!. I can't seem to figure out how to set/change the level of an appender. The code snipet you sent me earlier does not seem to work (as my earlier e-mail) suggested.

David,
The <root> logger is not actually called "Root". In fact it cannot be looked up using the LogManager.GetLogger("") call. Because loggers are created on demand if you do call LogManager.GetLogger("Root") then you will get back a new logger called Root but this is not the <root> logger. To configure this "Root" logger you would use:
<logger name="Root"> ... </logger>
Ok so how do we get the real <root> logger?
log4net.Repository.Hierarchy.Hierarchy h = (log4net.Repository.Hierarchy.Hierarchy)log4net.LogManager.GetLoggerRepo sitory(); log4net.Repository.Hierarchy.Logger rootLogger = h.Root;
Then from there you can call GetAppender to lookup your ConsoleAppender.

PS. I promise this will be easier in future.
