Actually the log_manager has an attribute called configure_state whose 
purpose is to tell you if the log manager has been configured (not None) 
and if so how it was configured. When it's not None it's a string whose 
value is by programmer convention (there are no restrictions). Currently 
the 3 values in use are:

'standard'
     The log_mgr was initialized by standard_logging_setup()
'default'
     The log_mgr was initialized by virtue of the ipa_log_manager being
     loaded.
'api'
     The log_mgr was initialized by the plugin bootstrap process (i.e.
     the api is initialized and has the log manager bound to it).

It better to reference log_mgr.configure_state than to make assumptions 
about the internals of the class.
