I had this question as well. What I discovered is that Mautic logging is based on the [Symfony Monolog Bundle](http://symfony.com/doc/current/cookbook/logging/monolog.html)

If you have a factory handle:

```auto
$this->factory->getLogger()->log('error', 'your message here');
```

where ‘error’ is your log level (I think info, debug, critical are also available)
