Since you are using a configuration file, you can set up config
entries for each logger for which you want to configure a level. For
example:

[loggers]
keys=root,log02,log03,log04

[logger_log02]
level=DEBUG
propagate=1
qualname=nl.company

[logger_log03]
level=WARN
propagate=1
qualname=nl.company.lib

[logger_log04]
level=WARN
propagate=1
qualname=org.apache
