Apache Camel Tracer | Would log level make a difference in the amount of information that is logged

Respected Camel experts,

i am exploring the usage of Tracer for logging purpose. It can be managed
via JMX Console, so logging can be enabled even when developers haven't used
logs in their routes.

My concern is that Tracer seems to output the same amount of information
irrespective of the log level set. Is this case or I am missing something.

I am enabling tracing on the route in the Route Builder:

/getContext().setTracing(true);
Date d = new Date();

//from("file://c:/test?fileName=myTest.txt麊=true").routeId("myFileTransfer")

from("file://c:/test?include=myTest.*.txt麊=true").routeId("myFileTransfer")
.to("log:{body}") // LOG COMPONENT
.transform().simple("${body} at: " + d.toString())
.log("OUTPUT: ${body}") //LOG EIP
.to("file://c:/test_aa")
;/

By default, the Tracer outputs the log at INFO level. I changed the level to
ERROR using the JMX Console. However, the log seems to same. The log output
is reproduced below:

Is this the behavior of Tracer, or it can be controlled somehow. In
production, we would need to output lesser information to the logs and this
is controlled by Log Levels. But this doesn't seems to be case with Tracer.
