+## Logging and tracing

+
+Some environments have the [.NET DefaultTraceListener](/dotnet/api/system.diagnostics.defaulttracelistener) enabled. The DefaultTraceListener poses performance issues on production environments causing high CPU and I/O bottlenecks. Check and make sure that the DefaultTraceListener is disabled for your application by removing it from the [TraceListeners](/dotnet/framework/debug-trace-profile/how-to-create-and-initialize-trace-listeners) on production environments.
+
+Latest SDK versions (greater than 3.23.0) automatically remove it when they detect it, with older versions, you can remove it by:
+
+# [.NET 6 / .NET Core](#tab/trace-net-core)
+
+```csharp
+if (!Debugger.IsAttached)
+{
+    Type defaultTrace = Type.GetType("Microsoft.Azure.Cosmos.Core.Trace.DefaultTrace,Microsoft.Azure.Cosmos.Direct");
+    TraceSource traceSource = (TraceSource)defaultTrace.GetProperty("TraceSource").GetValue(null);
+    traceSource.Listeners.Remove("Default");
+    // Add your own trace listeners
+}
+```
+
+# [.NET Framework](#tab/trace-net-fx)
+
+Edit your `app.config` or `web.config` files:
+
+```xml
+<configuration>
+  <system.diagnostics>
+    <sources>
+      <source name="DocDBTrace" switchName="SourceSwitch" switchType="System.Diagnostics.SourceSwitch" >
+        <listeners>
+          <remove name="Default" />
+          <!--Add your own trace listeners-->
+          <add name="myListener" ... />
+        </listeners>
+      </source>
+    </sources>
+  </system.diagnostics>
+<configuration>
+```
