What does the Error logging level indicate?

The Error logging level indicates clear and definitive problems that affect the user experience. This level of logging captures significant errors that can disrupt application functionality or lead to failures that users may encounter while using the software. These errors require immediate attention and resolution, as they can have a direct impact on the performance of the application and the overall satisfaction of the users.

At the Error level, the system typically logs issues that not only need to be addressed but also require tracking to prevent recurrence. By focusing on serious problems, teams can prioritize fixes and improvements more effectively, leading to a more stable and reliable application.

In contrast, other logging levels pertain to different types of messages that do not carry the same urgency or severity. For example, levels that indicate non-critical information or minor issues involve less serious concerns that do not necessarily impede functionality, while generic application updates may not pertain to any specific user-impacting issues at all.
