There're 2 points in your question :
- what to log
- where to log
To choose 'what' to log in your case, you can change 'log_statement' to
'all'.
Then, to choose 'where' to log, you can either use the proposal in the
first answer, or change 'log_destination' to 'stderr' and
'redirect_stderr' to 'on'.
