Description
An informational message is something that was recorded for audit purposes,
usually a user action or a change of states that is normal behavior.
A warning is not as severe as an error, but if possible, the condition should be
corrected before it becomes an error. It might also be a condition that requires
additional monitoring or maintenance.
An error typically indicates a failure or critical condition that impairs service or
an expected function.
