DistributedCache entries in SharePoint Log

Question

Hi,
I notice that my log on WFE filled out with lots of entries for DistributedCache, do you have idea on how to turn that off?
Calling... SPDistributedCacheClusterCustomProvider:: GetValue(object transactionContext, string type, string key).
Successfully executed... SPDistributedCacheClusterCustomProvider:: GetValue(object transactionContext, string type, string key).
Thank you!
Regards,
Edwin

hi Edwin,
The Distributed Cache service provides in-memory caching services and does not have a dependency on databases for several features in SharePoint Server 2013. Some of the features that use the Distributed Cache service include:
Newsfeeds
Authentication
OneNote client access
Security Trimming
Page load performance
When the service is enabled, these features use the Distributed Cache for quick data retrieval. Blob Cache and Output Cache do not use a distributed caching service since these types of cache exist on each Web Front End server in the farm.
The Feed Cache depends on the Distributed Cache service. Tags and document activities are saved only to the Feed Cache. Tags and document activities are not persisted to content databases. When the Distributed Cache service is stopped, tags and document
activities are lost. When the Distributed Cache service is started, repopulation occurs when the feed cache repopulation timer job runs. For more information, see Manage Feed Cache and Last Modified Time Cache repopulation in SharePoint Server 2013. One way
to maintain the tags and document activities is to use the method described in Perform a graceful shutdown of the Distributed Cache service
