Failure to contact services.
Failure to fetch statistics.
Failure to access or complete database access transactions.

Handled and unhandled exception messages and their equivalents, which are re-directed from standard error.

Each log message record contains the following data columns:

Date. Date and time for the event message.
Category. Category of the activity, for example, startup.
Source. The WhatsUp Gold component that registered the message, for example, NmEngine.
Message. The WhatsUp Gold component's message, for example, NmEngine. started.
