SpringBoot Logback config not being honored when SpringApplication.run() is invoked

Hi... I have run into an odd issue trying to troubleshoot an issue within my application. I was wanting to see some debug output so I setup my logback.xml file but no matter what I did I couldn't get debug output to show. Eventually I created the below code block to validate what logback.xml was being used. At the initial startup the log context is great and uses my configured logback information. Unfortunately after the spring context has been loaded and the application is running the log context has changed to the default spring boot logback configuration. How can I correct this or is this an issue with spring boot?

@ComponentScan
@EnableAutoConfiguration
public class Application {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        LoggerContext loggerContext = ((ch.qos.logback.classic.Logger) log).getLoggerContext();
        URL mainURL = ConfigurationWatchListUtil.getMainWatchURL(loggerContext);
        log.info("Logback used '{}' as the configuration file.", mainURL);
        Level level = loggerContext.getLogger(Logger.ROOT_LOGGER_NAME).getLevel();
        log.info("Root logger level is: {}", level);

        SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args);

        URL mainUrlAfter = ConfigurationWatchListUtil.getMainWatchURL(loggerContext);
        log.info("Logback used '{}' as the configuration file.", mainUrlAfter);
        Level levelAfter = loggerContext.getLogger(Logger.ROOT_LOGGER_NAME).getLevel();
        log.info("Root logger level is: {}", levelAfter);
    }
}

output
