I am using log4net in my .NET 3.5 console application and would like the log messages I generate to be seen in both the console standard out and the RollingFileAppender. The file output is working like a charm, but I am seeing a stream of status messages flowing to the console standard out when I execute. I would like to skip all the status information and only see the same messages I am programmatically generating to the log file.

Here is an example of what I see after I run my app:
log4net: XmlHierarchyConfigurator: Configuration update mode [Merge].
log4net: XmlHierarchyConfigurator: Logger [root] Level string is [DEBUG].
log4net: XmlHierarchyConfigurator: Logger [root] level set to [name="DEBUG",value=30000].
log4net: XmlHierarchyConfigurator: Loading Appender [Console] type: [log4net.Appender.ConsoleAppender]
log4net: PatternParser: Converter [message] Option [] Format [min=-1,max=2147483647,leftAlign=False]
log4net: PatternParser: Converter [newline] Option [] Format [min=-1,max=2147483647,leftAlign=False]
log4net: XmlHierarchyConfigurator: Setting Property [ConversionPattern] to String value [%5level [%thread] (%file:%line) - %message%newline]
log4net: PatternParser: Converter [level] Option [] Format [min=5,max=2147483647,leftAlign=False]
log4net: PatternParser: Converter [literal] Option [ [] Format [min=-1,max=21474
....

How do I turn this stuff off? I have searched for everything I can find on the subject and cannot pin it down.

Thanks,

Carey

Hey Carey,

what you see is the internal log4net logging.
