 === Logging Correlation IDs
 Correlation IDs provide a helpful way to link lines in your log files to spans/traces.
-By default, as long as configprop:management.tracing.enabled[] has not been set to `false`, Spring Boot will include correlation IDs in your logs whenever you are using Micrometer Tracing.
+When you are using Micrometer Tracing, Spring Boot will include correlation IDs in your logs.
 
 The default correlation ID is built from `traceId` and `spanId` https://logback.qos.ch/manual/mdc.html[MDC] values.
 For example, if Micrometer Tracing has added an MDC `traceId` of `803B448A0489F84084905D3093480352` and an MDC `spanId` of `3425F23BB2432450` the log output will include the correlation ID `[803B448A0489F84084905D3093480352-3425F23BB2432450]`.
