Problem: With inbuilt logging provider we can only have EventIds as a static class. How to use Enums in place of static classes.

• EventId allows easily finding specific log messages and also allows doing asserts in tests for those messages based on the event id.
• An event ID is an integer value that you can use to associate a set of logged events with one another. For instance, a log for adding an item to a shopping cart could be event ID 1000 and a log for completing a purchase could be event ID 1001.
