Add CLI Argument to Disable Logging on Anvil

[JakeXBT]

Component

Anvil

Describe the feature you would like

It would be great to have a CLI argument that we could use to disable the logging on calls to the Anvil RPC, particularly for workloads which involve lots of RPC calls as this may be more performant.

I think this should be doable to disable any tracing entirely via a cli argument

foundry/crates/anvil/src/eth/backend/executor.rs

Lines 286 to 290 in 0026488

	// records all call and step traces
	let mut inspector = Inspector::default().with_tracing();
	if self.enable_steps_tracing {
	inspector = inspector.with_steps_tracing();
	}

so that we don't use an inspector at all here:

foundry/crates/anvil/src/eth/backend/executor.rs

Lines 293 to 294 in 0026488

	let mut evm =
	foundry_evm::utils::new_evm_with_inspector(&mut *self.db, env, &mut inspector);

this needs a new cli flag for --disable-tracing I think and then this this as a new setting

@yash-atreya in case no one picks that up soon, this should be straight forward.

IIRC, @JakeXBT is asking to disable logging rpc call names?

[JakeXBT]

Hi @lakshya-sky,

Yes, that's right - the console logs which print the RPC call methods such as eth_call or anvil_setBalance.

@JakeXBT could you try --silent ?
