# Logging data model
The data model of logs is an extension of [`emit`'s events](../../reference/events.md). Log events include the following [well-known properties](https://docs.rs/emit/1.0.0/emit/well_known/index.html):
- `lvl`: a severity level assigned to the event.
- `"debug"`: a weakly informative event for live debugging.
- `"info"`: an informative event.
- `"warn"`: a weakly erroneous event for non-critical operations.
- `"error"`: an erroneous event.
- `err`: an error associated with the event.
There's some overlap between the logs data model and other extensions. [Span events](../tracing.md), for example, also support attaching levels and errors through `lvl` and `err`.
