only when the system is unusable. These log messages will help indicate
the source of the problem.
• The Alert level reports only alert and emergency messages. An alert
message requires immediate attention.
• The Critical level outputs critical, alert, and emergency messages. A
critical condition requires imminent action.
• Error messages include exception cases pertaining to violations of

on a day-to-day basis since it generates a large number of log messages.
