Indicates an event or fact that might not correspond to the user’s intentions/desires/beliefs, or a problem that is light enough that it does not prevent main goals from being accomplished. If there is a corresponding CLI command, it should exit with a success code.

Info

Indicates information that may be useful for the user to know, learn, etc.

Indicates information that is useful for developers and troubleshooting.

Trace
