Hi Sud,
Those are great suggestions. I've been searching the internet for some documentation on how to use ELMAH and how it logs but haven't sound it. Would you happen to know where is the documentation? Also, does it only log to database or is there an option to log to Window's application Event log? I was also looking at "Enterprise Library - Loggin Application" in Nuget and that one seems to offer options for loggin to different destination. Do you recommend one over the other? Thank you.

Okay, I found the site, https://code.google.com/p/elmah/
However, it looks like quite a setup for database. I wonder if it's easier just using the Enterprise Library logging to log into the web server's window's application log?
