I tend to have the following:</p> <p>Debug/Verbose, Informational, Warning, Error, Fatal (V, I, W, E, F)</p> <p>Just for logging and the following auditing messages:</p> <p>Allowed, Denied (A, D)</p> <p>So there you see why I use the V for debug/verbose ;-)</p> <p>Keep in mind that your table does not have a unique column and that datetime values can have conflicts depending on how fast errors occur.</p>
