## TL;DR
Usually composed at least by:
- Timestamp.
- Level (A.K.A. Severity).
- Message.
- Other metadata.
Long term storage is frequently cause of concern.<br/>
Analysis and search is extremely difficult and computationally expensive at scale.<br/>
Locality and standardization are often issues, with each application storing their own logs in their own format on their
own files in different locations. Finding a way to bring all those into a central location for analysis is one of the
goals of aggregation solutions.
## Level
| Level | Summary |
| ----------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Debug | **Detailed** contextual information used during development or for troubleshooting |
| Information | Normal, expected events |
| Warning | Situations that are unexpected but not errors; can potentially lead to problems if ignored |
| Error | Issues that need immediate attention, but might not require termination of operations |
| Critical | Failures or events that require immediate and decisive attention, where operations cannot continue |
