When an exception occurs, `logger.error()` should be called within a `try...except` block. It is crucial to pass the exception information directly to the logging call, often using a parameter like `exc_info=True` (in Python's `logging` module), by passing the `Exception` object itself, or similar mechanisms depending on the language/framework. This ensures the full stack trace, exception type, and message are included in the log output, providing vital context for debugging and root cause analysis.
