Event

An event is a single auditable event, e.g. a user logging in to a system. A Stream typically contains multiple events.

In a Raw Events an event is typically represented as block of XML or JSON, a single line for CSV data. In an Events Stream an event is identified by its Event ID which its position in that stream (as a one-based number). The Event ID combined with a Stream ID provide a unique identifier for an event within a Stroom instance.
