    OK, understood. That doesn't change my answer. You have to create 25 alerts. One per severity level.

    If you need every single message then you need to configure 25 alerts, one per severity level. There is no "include all" option. (You will probably find out that there are bunch of messages that you aren't interested in, btw.)

    Actually in my SQL server error logs, I don't have any error messages unless something wrong happens, so I want to catch any error message.

    Hi @BilalBhat-0178,

    As @tibor_karaszi@hotmail.com ‘s suggestion:
    Error severity: 25,
    What it indicates: Unexpected errors, this is the catch all for Microsoft SQL Server.
