java.lang.Object
jdk.jfr.EventType
public final class EventType extends Object
Describes an event, its fields, settings and annotations.

The following example shows how the EventType class can be used to print metadata about an event. 

for (EventType eventType : FlightRecorder.getFlightRecorder().getEventTypes()) {
    System.out.println("Event Type: " + eventType.getName());
    if (eventType.getLabel() != null) {
        System.out.println("Label: " + eventType.getLabel());
    }
    if (eventType.getDescription() != null) {
        System.out.println("Description: " + eventType.getDescription());
    }
    StringJoiner s = new StringJoiner(" / ");
    for (String category : eventType.getCategoryNames()) {
        s.add(category);
    }
    System.out.println("Category: " + s);
    System.out.println("Fields: " + eventType.getFields().size());
    System.out.println("Annotations: " + eventType.getAnnotationElements().size());
    System.out.println("Settings: " + eventType.getSettingDescriptors().size());
    System.out.println("Enabled: " + eventType.isEnabled());
    System.out.println();
}
