# Meddelandelogg

The message log lets you see status information about a running Tor process. Each message has a severity associated with it, ranging from Fel (most serious) to Avlusa (most verbose). See the help section on message severities for more information.

### Meddelandes stränghetar

A message's severity tells you how important the message is. A higher severity message usually indicates that something has gone wrong with Tor. Lower severity messages appear frequently during normal Tor operations and usually do not need to be logged.

The possible message severities, from most severe to least severe, are:

- Fel: Messages that appear when something has gone very wrong and Tor cannot proceed. These messages will be highlighted in red in the message log.
- Varning: Messages that only appear when something has gone wrong with Tor, but are not fatal and Tor will continue running. These messages will be highlighted in yellow.
- Underrättelser: Messages that appear infrequently during normal Tor operation and are not considered errors, but you still may care about.
- Info: Messages that appear frequently during normal Tor operation and are not usually of interest to most users.
- Avlusa: Extremely verbose messages that are primarily of interest to developers. You should generally not log debug messages unless you know what you are doing.
