Log4Net - Omitting the logs from the Root and appending to a different log file

I have set a root level logger which basically logs all.
There is a requirement to append a 3rd party information in a separate log file. Initially in the program, this would get logged even if you create a separate logger in the code, as the root captures all logging information.

        private static readonly ILog Logger
            = LogManager.GetLogger(System.Reflection.MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod().DeclaringType);

        private static readonly ILog ThirdPartyLogger = LogManager.GetLogger("ThirdPartyLogger");
...
...
...
ThirdPartyLogger.Info($"This gets logged in the main log too, even though the appender is not set in the root");

The trick to omit it from the root level logger is to have the "additivity" attribute set in the logger.

Use the attribute "DatabaseGenerated"

Example:

    public class Device
    {
        [Key]
        [DatabaseGenerated(DatabaseGeneratedOption.Identity)]
        public int DeviceId { get; set; }
        public string Language { get; set; }
        public string RegistrationId { get; set; }
        public string DeviceType { get; set; }
        public int UserNo { get; set; }
    }
