+note: "Revive `event.name` attribute for use by non-OTLP exporters and logging libraries."
+issues: [2597]
+subtext: |
+  The `event.name` attribute is now undeprecated and can be used by:

+  - Applications using existing logging libraries to add event name information that can be used to set the `EventName` field by Collector or SDK components
