Severity of message events

In the message log file, each message event has an associated severity level. The following message severities are valid:

• FATAL
• ERROR
• WARNING
• NOTICE
• NOTICE_VERBOSE

• FATAL messages
  An unrecoverable error occurred, such as a database corruption. The process that encounters the error usually terminates and might produce a core file.
• ERROR messages
  An unexpected or nonterminal event, such as a timeout, or correctable event that requires manually intervention occurred.
• WARNING messages
  An event occurred that is possibly not the wanted or requested result, such as a configuration file not being found and a default value used instead.
• NOTICE messages
  An event took place that does not directly require action, such as starting a server. The event conveys general information about running state or normal actions.
• NOTICE_VERBOSE messages
  This event is similar to NOTICE, but the events that are logged might contain more detailed information.
