Define An Info Message

Finally, let's talk about the Info level and create a sample Message Type for it. These messages are sent to operators to make things transparent and known. They do not require immediate action, but are for information purposes only.

Solution Is Optional

We've created message types before — remember the Error and Warn? And for these we've added a Solution. But in this case, we don't need to provide one since this is message is just an information that doesn't need to be resolved.

Mission accomplished!

Great, we've got sample Message Types set up for each Level. Let's go ahead and actually trigger them.
