Description

This is the code snippet, From the output, notice that loggerConfig name is blank and its parent is null. Is this how it is supposed to be?

String loggerName = "com.myCompany.myClass";
static Logger logger = LogManager.getLogger(loggerName);
LoggerConfig loggerConfig = LoggerContext.getContext(false).getConfiguration().getLoggerConfig(loggerName);
System.out.println("new loggerConfig name: " + loggerConfig.getName());
System.out.println("new loggerConfig parent : " + loggerConfig.getParent());

Output:
new loggerConfig name:
new loggerConfig parent : null
