If it's available in your version, you can accomplish this by sending a message from the client to the gateway using [system.util.sendMessage](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC80/system.util.sendMessage) and then logging it there. See screenshot of gateway message handler in linked post below:

> You add the handler under the message section of gateway event scripts on the receiving gateway: The messageHandler parameter matches the gateway message handler name (“logger” in the example shown).

The client sends a message with with `loggerName`, `level`, and `message` and the gateway logs it accordingly.
