I decided that it might be a good idea to submit a [DOC patch.]() I only received on comment on the patch, so I don't know if it will be applied or not. The comment, caused me to consider creating a table for the docs that correlated the different log levels between PostgreSQL, Syslog and Eventlog. The HTML version of that table is below: Log level correlation --- PostgreSQL| Syslog| Eventlog DEBUG1-DEBUG5| LOG_DEBUG| EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE LOG| LOG_INFO| EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE INFO| LOG_INFO| EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE NOTICE| LOG_NOTICE| EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE WARNING| LOG_NOTICE| EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE ERROR| LOG_WARNING| EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE FATAL| LOG_ERR| EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE PANIC| LOG_CRIT| EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE I have decided not to submit a patch to -docs for this. I do not have the inclination to use DocBook SGML (XML sure and yes it is quite a bit different) and since we are past year 2001, the tools out there I could find support only DocBook XML. --- [View this page online](https://www.commandprompt.com/blog/log_level_correlations/)
