Consider you want to insert Errors and Warnings into the same database entity. How would you call the table?
Example:
+----+-------+---------+
| ID | TYPE | MESSAGE |
+----+-------+---------+
| 1 | ERROR | FOO |
| 2 | WARNG | BAR |
| 3 | ERROR | TXT |
+----+-------+---------+

Signalwould be the generic term from a process point of view.
