There is no connection to the backend. This is simply an listener
identifier of the
tab "user log". It is an UI information only.
The backend can send the information in the format we've discussed. the
UI can
name its event listener freely. Or course we can standardize the name.
Perhaps
using the tab_id or something.
Do you want me to split this contribution in two patches, one for
backend and
other for frontend, to make it clearer what is backend or frontend only
code?

For example, /ginger/Users/create. Which user was created? This is
something we would
like to inform too.
