Andrew, The Hierarchy.Root.Level is the level for the root logger. This level is inherited by all child loggers in the hierarchy unless they override it.
For details see the Level Inheritance section of the manual at: http://logging.apache.org/log4net/release/manual/introduction.html#HC-52 37022 The Hierarchy.Threshold is the threshold level for the whole hierarchy, this takes precedence over the Levels set on the loggers. This is typically used only to turn logging on and off for the whole hierarchy.
