Answer 1

Metro apps do expose a the System.Diagnostics.Tracing namespace:

You'll probably want to see the EventLevel enumeration:

In my winrt class used by my js metro app, I could not derive an EventSource. Is there a sample to demonstrate how tracing can be done in metro app? 

Error 4 Windows Runtime class 'MyEventSource' has an invalid base type 'System.Diagnostics.Tracing.EventSource'.  Classes must either derive from System.Object or from a composable Windows Runtime class.  Implementation inheritance is not allowed.
