Discord.Net's clients provide a Log event that all messages will be
dispatched over.
For more information about events in Discord.Net, see the Events
section.
Usage
To receive log events, simply hook the discord client's log method
to a Task with a single parameter of type LogMessage.
It is recommended that you use an established function instead of a
lambda for handling logs, because most addons accept a reference
to a logging function to write their own messages.
Usage in Commands
Discord.Net's CommandService also provides a log event, identical
in signature to other log events.
Data logged through this event is typically coupled with a
CommandException, where information about the command's context
and error can be found and handled.

Tips
Due to the nature of Discord.Net's event system, all log event
handlers will be executed synchronously on the gateway thread. If your
log output will be dumped to a Web API (e.g. Sentry), you are advised
to wrap your output in a Task.Run so the gateway thread does not
become blocked while waiting for logging data to be written.
