How to programmatically create multiple log files in log4j2?

I am developing a Java application that communicates with a large number of devices. For each device, I need to create a different log file to register its connection with the device. This is the wrapper class that I developed. It creates two log files, but the data is written only to the first. A second file is created, but nothing is written to it. The output, which should go to the second file, goes to the console. If I uncomment createRootLogger () in the constructor, nothing is written to both files, everything goes to the console. I looked through the log4j2 documentation, but it is poorly written with very few code samples. Here is my wrapper class, where is the error? I am using log4j-api-2.9.0.jar and log4j-core-2.9.0.jar.
