You have to configure the "additivity" of your logger to false to no longer make it propagate logging events to inherited appenders (the alfresco.log is an appender inherited from the root).

Thanks for your reply Axel Faust‌

I tried the below line in my AMP log4j.properties file but it is still putting logs in parent log file.

log4j.additivity.moduleLog=false

You do not define the additivity for the appender, you have to define it for the logger package.

log4j.additivity.com.abc.component=false

Then, every logger in the com.abc.component package will only log to the appender you specified (moduleLog) and not propagate further up...
