[🐛 Bug]: Info level logs for tracing bloating Node logs

[MJB222398]

What happened?

I've just gotten round to enabling tracing/telemetry with Jaeger in my Docker Grid. I set it up for the Hub and all the Nodes. If I look at the logs for the Nodes I can see there are lots of 'INFO' level logs relating to the tracing, a seriously large amount bloating the logs. But for the Hub there are no log entries for telemetry. Having a log level of 'INFO' for telemetry seems wrong? And why do they appear for the Node logs but not the hub logs?

Can you copy a full message to see trace events from which operation?
