Events
Customize certain actions to trigger an event
Events are time-stamped, structured logs that describe something that happened in your application. They are flexible, contextual, and great for tracking user behavior, system actions, feature usage, and more.
What is an Event?
An event is:
- Identified by an event name (e.g.
npc_spawned,command_used,plugin_loaded) - Has a timestamp
- Sent by a sender (e.g., server, client, device)
- It Can include any number of properties (flexible key-value pairs)
Unlike metrics, events are not numeric by default, but rather represent something that occurred, and may include rich context.
