Release Notes for Red Hat build of Quarkus 1.11
4.6. Changes to configuring the minimum logging level at the DEBUG and TRACE levels [1]

In Quarkus 1.11, you must set the minimum logging level when you configure your logger to log messages at the DEBUG and TRACE level. 

In Red Hat build of Quarkus 1.11.6, the default value of quarkus.log.min-level is DEBUG, not INFO. If a application uses the DEBUG level category, it will not be affected by quarkus.log.min-level.

Originally, when quarkus.log.min-level was introduced, the default value of quarkus.log.min-level is INFO, but it seems to have been changed to DEBUG with the subsequent change [2] fixed in 1.11.2.Final.
