TRACE : The TRACE Level designates finer-grained informational events than the DEBUG.
DEBUG : The DEBUG Level designates fine-grained informational events that are most useful to debug an application.
INFO  : The INFO level designates informational messages that highlight the progress of the application at coarse-grained level.
WARN  : The WARN level designates potentially harmful situations.
ERROR : The ERROR level designates error events that might still allow the application to continue running.
FATAL : The FATAL level designates very severe error events that will presumably lead the application to abort.
ALL   : The ALL has the lowest possible rank and is intended to turn on all logging.
OFF   : The OFF has the highest possible rank and is intended to turn off logging.
