After short/brief look into the documentation of Exceptionless, there is the option to send logs/notifications (different kinds of messages beside errors) to the Exceptionless server.

In general, we will not be able to replace all logging functionalities of PostSharp by using Exceptionless. So, custom logging, e.g. activity logs, and similar things would work fine, but others like performance/measurement logging not.

On the long run, it seems to be required using PostSharp (or similar tools). But even for the latest version of PostSharp, you will be able to get a free license (PostSharp Essentials). And there are some restictions, but it seems that BEXIS2 decelopment wouldn't be affected by that.

Currently, I would recommend using further on with PostSharp (currently version 4.3.19).

So, specific logging (based on function calls within the source code of BEXIS2 is possible).
