No that is something different again.

We don't have "how to" on the event logging services, so the options are

- man pages for a pmda developer ... pmdaeventarray(3),
pmdaeventqueue(3) and pmdaeventclient(3).

- source code examples for pmdas that producer event traces ... see the
bash, etw, logger, sample and systemd PMDAs

- for consumer of events see the man page and source for pmevent(1).
