+The **JVM** comes with many built-in **JDK Flight Recorder** *Event Types* out-of-the-box.
+You can also register new *event types* at the framework- or application-level using the
+`jdk.jfr` API. **Cryostat** can list out all of a *Target* **JVM**'s registered *event types*
+so you can see what kind of data may be captured by **Flight Recordings**.
