level 3: Warning and level 4: Information. The level 4 covers notifica-
tion events such as initialization of the controller and initiation of the
rebuilding process; Level 2 covers notification events which once have
happen; Level 3 includes events which require the issuance of warning
messages; Level 1 is the highest level, and covers events that need
