How to get the log level and other config info programmatically

How do I get the current log level and other config info programmatically? The ILogger interface does not define any methods or properties to do this. 
 
More specifically, if I have a logger like this:
 

private static readonly ILog logger = LogManager.getLogger();

 

How do I find out the log level of this logger (as set in the config file) and also the log level of the root logger? logger.IsInfoEnabled, etc. will suffice in most cases, but how do I find out what is the exact log level that is specified in the config file?

 

Thanks,

Well, the ILog interface does have the IsXXXXEnabled methods, which will
solve most situations where you need to address current log level.

 

i.e. 

if (log.IsDebugEnabled) 
{
     log.Debug("Entry number: " + i + " is " + entry[i]);
}

Sorry, I meant  

private static readonly ILog logger = LogManager.getLogger(typeof(MyClass));
