This field on a log event enables users to create OpenTelemetry events. A log record with a non-empty event_name is an Event. The event_name field is optional has a type of String. The event_name should identify the class/type of the Event. Events are intended to be used by OpenTelemetry instrumentation. It is not a requirement that all LogRecords are formatted as Events.
