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.
In this step, we're going to define an example message that informs operators about a successful software update.
- Add New Message Type
Click Add Type
within the Message Types View:
- Choose a Unique
Code
- Choose the Right
Level
- Choose a Descriptive
Title
- Provide a Clear
Description
- Describe the cause of this message clearly and precisely.
- Be sure to keep it brief, using only the most essential words.
Solution Is Optional
We've created other message types before — remember the Error
and Warn
?
We've added a Solution
for both of them.
In this case, we don't need to provide one since this 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.
