Log Performance

Log Performance

Log files use server resources to record service information and events. The tracing level determines the amount of information that the log stores.
Logs consume system resources and can slow down performance. To improve log performance, you can change the tracing level to reduce the amount of information that the log stores. By default, each log uses the information tracing level. The information tracing level is a high impact tracing level and uses the most server resources.
If you change the tracing level, it does not affect the tracing level for SQL Server.
The following table describes the different tracing levels:
Tracing Level
