# Set the Level | Sentry for Google Crashpad

The level - similar to logging levels - is generally added by default based on the integration. You can also override it within an event.

Set an event's level to match its severity. For example, report a recoverable exception as a warning:

```c
#include <sentry.h>

sentry_value_t event = sentry_value_new_event();
sentry_event_set_level(event, SENTRY_LEVEL_WARNING);
sentry_event_add_exception(event, sentry_value_new_exception("Timeout", "Request timed out"));
sentry_capture_event(event);
```
