Measurements allow you to store measurements on the timeline. Measurements consist of a name, a value, and a series. Optionally, you can add one or more tags which can be used to filter measurements when you retrieve them.

Events are conceptually ways to store the occurence of an event on the timeline. An event has a name, but no value associated with it. This is the primary difference from a measurement. As an example, storing "cpu-load" with value of 1.2 would be a measurement on the timeline, where the occurrence of "machine-restarted" (no value associated) would be an event.
