Events are actions performed by the user while using your application and/or specific events that happened and have a clear business meaning (i.e. the user arrived on the page with a specific query parameter). Events differ from logs in that they have pre-determined structure and attributes.
The app contains a lot of automatically captured events (i.e. page navigations captured by the React Instrumentation provided by the Faro) but also manually created events (i.e. creating an article, adding a comment, logging in and logging out etc.).
Captured errors are stored in Loki.
For the time being the API does not provide any events.
