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.
