Yii2-queue and logging

I have yii2-queue working – easy setup, works nicely.

For debug and monitoring purposes, I’d like to be able to see the debug output from jobs I submit to the queue. However, I’m struggling mightily with this.

Here is my current log setup in console/config/main.php (below). My goal is to break out logging into separate areas based on what I need to look at – a common need. I’m able to create the different log files just via using this configuration. However, what I can’t seem to get working is seeing Yii:debug() output when I submit a job to yii2-queue. In queue.log, I do see the queue runner grabbing the job. But I never see the Yii::debug() output I have in my job code. I have scanned all the log files and none of them have it, including debug.log, which has no category restrictions.

I’m clearly missing something. Help is appreciated.
