 The following table describes the five event types used in event logging.

-| **Error**         | An event that indicates a significant problem such as loss of data or loss of functionality. For example, if a service fails to load during startup, an Error event is logged.                                                                                                                           |
-| **Warning**       | An event that is not necessarily significant, but may indicate a possible future problem. For example, when disk space is low, a Warning event is logged. If an application can recover from an event without loss of functionality or data, it can generally classify the event as a Warning event.     |

If an application can recover from an event without loss of functionality or data, it can generally classify the event as a Warning event. |
 | **Information**   | An event that describes the successful operation of an application, driver, or service. For example, when a network driver loads successfully, it may be appropriate to log an Information event. Note that it is generally inappropriate for a desktop application to log an event each time it starts. |
-| **Success Audit** | An event that records an audited security access attempt that is successful. For example, a user's successful attempt to log on to the system is logged as a Success Audit event.                                                                                                                        |
-| **Failure Audit** | An event that records an audited security access attempt that fails. For example, if a user tries to access a network drive and fails, the attempt is logged as a Failure Audit event.                                                                                                                   |

+| **Failure Audit** | An event that records an audited security access attempt that fails. For example, if a user tries to access a network drive and fails, the attempt is logged as a Failure Audit event. |

 Selected activities of users can be tracked by auditing security events and then placing entries in a computer's security log.
