Logging Type Meanings

  • Info - Normal logging messages telling you a summary of the task. No further action needed.
  • Warn - A small error or something is missing - but not enough to cause concern. Investigate if required.
  • Debug - More extensive logging details - normally used to investigate deeper issues.
  • Error - A serious error has occurred - usually causing the task to unexpectedly stop.
