I don't know if we need all 8 levels used in syslog. I'm not sure
where the
distinction comes between "Emergency", "Alert", "Critical" and
"Error" when it
comes to testing. But its a good start. Some undefined levels we
can define
later seems like a good idea, leaves some wiggle room in the protocol.

Numerical Severity
Code
0 Emergency: system is unusable
1 Alert: action must be taken immediately
2 Critical: critical conditions
3 Error: error conditions
4 Warning: warning conditions
5 Notice: normal but significant condition
6 Informational: informational messages
7 Debug: debug-level messages
We would, of course, invert the numerics.
Granted, syslog is pretty old technology. Anyone familiar with the
current
thinking on this sort of stuff?

Maybe use the levels from Log4J, Log::Log4perl, et al?
fatal
error
warn
info
debug
?
