There is not a comprehensive list unfortunately. Cleaning up the logger names is something we’re working towards.

For 7.3 we’ve added a scripting function: [tt]system.util.logger(loggerName)[/tt] which will return in instance of a Logger object (see Log4J for details) that you can use to log messages, for example:

`log = system.util.logger("MyProject")
log.info("Something happened")`
