You just need to return a meaningful response from the service endpoint that can be logged locally. There's no other sane way to do that.

As Nathan said, no there is not. As you know, your code for your webservice is running on your server and has no access to the browser that the end user might be using to call your webservice. They could even be using a Windows Forms app or something else to call your service so no, there is definitely no way to get at the browser console.

You can and should have logging on the server. Then as Nathan said, return values but then it is up to the client that calls your service as to whether or not they do something with the return values.
