All messages are assigned a notification level, which reflects the priority of the message in the system.
Messages with the highest priority are assigned a notification level of emergency. Messages at this level
indicate that the system is unusable. Messages with the lowest priority are assigned a notification level
of debug. Messages at this level are for troubleshooting purposes. In Example 11-11, the message level
number is 5, indicating a notification level of notice.
Table 11-1 lists the notification levels, their level number, and their description.
Event, trace and debug messages can be routed to various destinations, based on the notification level of
the message and the application area (facility) that generated the message. Table 11-2 lists the logging
destinations and their descriptions; Table 11-3 lists the logging facilities and their descriptions.
