You can make use of the helper functions from the Ektron.Cms.Instrumentation class. You need to enable some settings in config files to make use of these functions.

Web.config:Update LogLevel as "4"

<!-- Determines the level of messages that are logged
    1 = Error:  Only Errors are logged.
    2 = Warning:  Only warnings and Errors are logged.
    3 = Information:  Only Informationals, Warnings, and Errors are logged.
    4 = Verbose:  Everything is logged.
    
    NOTE: you can configure where each message level is logged using the instrumentation.config.
  -->
        <add name="LogLevel" value="4"/>

Instrumentation.config:

Add "Trace" to "Verbose"

<add switchValue="All" name="Verbose">
  <listeners>
    <add name="Event Log" />
    <add name="Trace" />
  </listeners>
</add>

Once these changes are made in config files,you can use the helper functions.

For example,

Exception ex=new Exception("Test Exception");

Ektron.Cms.Instrumentation.Log.WriteError(ex);

(Explore the Ektron.Cms.Instrumentation class for more details)
