In a production system i've seen a store procedure running all the time

exec [master].dbo.sp_trace_getdata 8

even thouh i kill the proccess 1 minute later it shows uo again
could anybody tell me what it does and if this SP produces an overhead to the system?

Is there any way to know who or which client application is triggerring thas SP (Maybe a SQL Profiler) ?

If this SP produce an overhead how can i deactivate this SP ?
Thanks in advanced
