type Event

type Event struct {
	// EventType encodes where the event came from and some of the meaning
	EventType string
	// Category of the event created
	Category Category
	// Dimensions of what is being measured.  They are intrinsic.  Contributes to the identity of
	// the metric. If this changes, we get a new metric identifier
	Dimensions map[string]string
	// Properties is information that's not particularly important to the event, but may be
	// important to the pipeline that uses the event.  They are extrinsic.  It provides additional
	// information about the metric. changes in this set doesn't change the metric identity

	Timestamp  time.Time
	// Meta is for internal purposes, it does not come in or leave with it.
