I have read from a few 'best practices' guides that every SQL Server administrator/DBA should configure their production instances to alert on any events with "severity levels 19 through 25". However, I am trying to grasp exactly what those events relate to, and translate that into something meaningful to senior management as to 'if you dont get alerts on these events - this could be the consequences... for those who do use SQL alerting, do you capture these events, and to be blunt "why"?

SQL Server alerts 19-25 - importance

Databases are organized collections of data, most commonly accessed through management systems including schemas, tables, queries and processes that allow users to enter and manipulate the information or utilize it in other fashions, such as with web applications or for reporting purposes.

Databases

Microsoft SQL Server is a suite of relational database management system (RDBMS) products providing multi-user database access functionality.SQL Server is available in multiple versions, typically identified by release year, and versions are subdivided into editions to distinguish between product functionality. Component services include integration (SSIS), reporting (SSRS), analysis (SSAS), data quality, master data, T-SQL and performance tuning.

Microsoft SQL Server

SQL (Structured Query Language) is designed to be used in conjunction with relational database products as of a means of working with sets of data. SQL consists of data definition, data manipulation, and procedural elements. Its scope includes data insert, query, update and delete, schema creation and modification, and data access control.
