title: How can I find the logging level of the root in log4net?
body: <p>Given a Log4Net logger on my C# ASP.NET application, how can I get the logging level of the root logger?</p>
  
  <p>The specific error case I am trying to trap is that when the root is set to <code>trace</code> it causes an error in NHibernate because of the version we are on, so I would just like to trap that and shut down the WCF service in the case where someone sets the log level incorrectly.</p>
  
  <p>I'm sure someone else has tried to do this before, so I would like to benefit from prior knowledge. My google fu is weak tonight. Help me StackOverflow, you're my only hope.</p>
