Log entry
One line written by running software into its log. It is not an alert. An alert says a condition needs attention and may be raised because of log entries; the line is not that alert. It is not an incident.

What we can say about Log entry
These properties describe meanings and reference targets. Storage types, required fields, and cardinality belong to the consuming data model.
| Property | Meaning | Values and units |
|---|---|---|
| Log entry level | How the software classified this line, in the scheme that software uses. Common grades run from a trace or debug line, through information and a warning, to an error. The names and the number of grades are not a closed list. A log level is not incident severity and not bug severity: it classifies a line the software wrote, not the impairment of a service and not a flaw on the backlog. | Scalar meaning |
| Log entry software component | The software component that wrote the line. | Values reference Software component |
| Log entry timestamp | The instant the line was written. It is not the instant an incident was opened and not the instant an alert was acknowledged. | Scalar meaning |
