errors - indicate operational issues that can disrupt the stream input
warnings - point out issues with the disrupted stream or those that might not affect streams at all
information - includes limited number of messages, such as version information on process start, normal exit, process restart, activation input on the stream, and a few others
debug - detailed information about receiving and processing activities. Turned off by default and can be enabled in the log settings or using command line argument --debug
