# Events

The Event Management API allows you to programmatically post events to the Events Explorer and fetch events from the Events Explorer. See the [Event Management page](https://docs.datadoghq.com/service_management/events.md) for more information.

**Update to Datadog monitor events `aggregation_key` starting March 1, 2025:** The Datadog monitor events `aggregation_key` is unique to each Monitor ID. Starting March 1st, this key will also include Monitor Group, making it unique per *Monitor ID and Monitor Group*. If you're using monitor events `aggregation_key` in dashboard queries or the Event API, you must migrate to use `@monitor.id`. Reach out to [support](https://www.datadoghq.com/support/) if you have any question.
