These events are JSON objects (arbitrary hashmaps) A event may look like this: { "_type": "sale", "product_id": 534221, "purchase_value": 2999 } Some events have a special format and meaning (like "increment this counter by 4" or "add this sample to the average query time gauge"). You can just send these special events and FnordMetric will know what do to with them. _Example: increment something by four_ ... _Example_ You can also send completely custom events and write a piece of ruby code that processes them. In this case the only requirement is that the event has a `_type` key, which is used to identify the correct event handler. All other fields can be completely custom. This is useful if you want to perform actions on more than one gauge but only want to send one piece of data from your app to FnordMetric. _Example: send a "user signed up" event and increment two gauges_ fnord...
