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;
}
