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.

The following table describes the different tracing levels:

Tracing Level	Description
Information	The default log level. Logs all information messages and provides comprehensive information about the Dynamic Data Masking service. The information that the log provides is useful if you encounter an issue with Dynamic Data Masking operations. You can refer to the logs to troubleshoot the problem. Performance impact is high.
Warn	Logs warning messages from the Dynamic Data Masking service. Performance impact is moderate.
Error	Logs error messages and instances when a user connection is force closed. Performance impact is low.
