# Grafana events

Grafana uses an event bus to publish application events and notify different parts of Grafana when users interact with a chart. The Business Charts panel can react to these actions by subscribing to one or more events.

> Note
> 
> Business Charts 5.0.0 lets you unsubscribe from events to avoid memory leaks by returning an [extended result object](/docs/plugins/volkovlabs-echarts-panel/latest/features/extended-result/).

## Predefined events

A full list of events is available in the [Grafana Crash Course](/docs/plugins/volkovlabs-echarts-panel/latest/exploring-eventbus/).

## Subscribe to events

To subscribe and unsubscribe from events, create an extended result object.
