• Informational. Events of this type require no attention and are provided as useful
information.
• Normal. Events of this type indicate that this event is not a problem.
• Minor. Events of this type indicate a warning condition that can escalate into a more
serious problem.
• Major. Events of this type indicate an impending failure.
• Critical. Events of this type indicate a failure and signal the need for immediate attention.
