In some sense even if the tenant debug log has limitation
(would be nice to describe), this is the only way logging the tenant has.
I would like to see the generic guideline in terms of when to use trace vs. debug vs. info levels.
It may be just a reference to the existing wiki page.
Some suggestions in terms of easy separation of multiple apps logging would be nice.
The examples of good types would be nice, e.g. in order to use it for later filtering.
E.g. I use class names as types for easy filtering.

By a web-service I mean something outside the platform.
E.g. A customer has some information that it don’t want/can’t keep on PaaS. The access to that information is via a gateway server that the company has (e.g. http get, SOAP, json, …). How do I access that gateway from PaaS?
