Hi everyone, I have one question....Everyday we receive log files in CRM server, and it interesting for me how there are generated, are there necessary files and what it happen if I disable generating. (log file examples are below).

Hello,

Those trace files are generated when tracing is turned on - support.microsoft.com/.../how-to-enable-tracing-in-microsoft-dynamics-crm

If you will disable it and restart IIS and AsyncService the outcome will be the fact that traces are not generated anymore.

There is a need in traces only in situation when you experience some kind of error and want to troubleshoot it.

You can use the tracing function to trace how log files are created.

Just to add to Andrew answer, enabling tracing could impact the performance.

My advice is to set it to Error only or disable it.

When troubleshooting any issue that you need more information you can turn it on in Verbose (more detailed logging) mode while reproducing the issue to collect more information. Afterwards set it back to Error or disable it.
