Please note that the `GRPC_TRACE` environment variable has nothing to do with gRPC's "tracing" feature (= tracing RPCs in
microservice environment to gain insight about how requests are processed by deployment), it is merely used to enable printing
of extra logs.
## Preventing gRPC Log Noise
Log noise could consume a lot of resources. We recommend tuning settings for production systems very carefully.
* Avoid using GRPC_VERBOSITY flag. This has been deprecated. If this value of this flag is anything other than "ERROR" or "NONE" it will cause log noise.
* Always avoid setting --v and --vmodule to anything other than -1 for production systems.
* Avoid setting --minloglevel=0 for production systems. Anyting greater than 0 should be fine.
* If setting this does not eliminate your log noise, look for instances of functions `--v`, `--vmodule`, `absl::SetVLogLevel` and `absl::SetMinLogLevel` in your entire codebase and any libraries/components/configs that you may be using.
