The logging system categorizes messages into severity levels.

Parameter

Description

DEBUG

Detailed, technical messages that are useful when customer support or engineering need to debug the application.

Examples: "SSL Connection opened", "Removing SQL Connection from memory"

INFO

Informational messages that highlight the progress of the application and report normal transitions within the application.

Examples: "Server is ready", "Loading dimension..."

WARN

A potentially harmful situation or condition of which you should be aware. Action may be required, but operation of the server is not interrupted.

Example: "Attempt to add a new group exceeded the limit on group creation"

ERROR

An error condition of which you should be aware. Action should be taken to fix or report the issue to customer support. The error may be so severe that the server shuts down or it may result in the current client request being canceled.

Examples: "Error connecting to remote machine", "Failed to create a cube"

FATAL

A very severe error event that will possibly cause the server to shut down or result in the current client request being canceled. You should immediately take action to fix the issue and report the event to customer support.
