The priority level that is controlled by this
entry. These are ordered from most (emergency) to least
(debug) critical. Each event with a CM or CMTS has a
particular priority level associated with it (as defined
by the vendor). During normal operation no event more
critical than notice(6) should be generated. Events between
warning and emergency should be generated at appropriate
levels of problems (e.g. emergency when the box is about to
crash).
