Question #187677 on Graphite changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/graphite/+question/187677

    Status: Open => Answered

cbrinley proposed the following answer:
Well,
I'm no expert here. But here is an attempt :)
I should mention this still looks experimental so usual caveats apply.

if you log to graphite and go to url /admin/events/event you can add an
event manually from there.
Also here is some doc on using it in a graph:
http://readthedocs.org/docs/graphite/en/latest/functions.html?highlight=events

As far as dynamically adding events via rest interface looks like the
following variables are supported:
what=guessing this is title or something similar
tags= believe this is just a comma separated list of adjectives.
when = looks like this should be epoch time
data = can't tell from code , maybe arbitrary data

looks like you'll need to send a POST request to graphite/events with those
parameters.

Chris D, this looks like something you may have been working on? Maybe you
can add color here or correct where i have gone off the deep end.

Regards,
