The timeline provides a chronological view of events related to a security incident.
Events appear as point events or range events. Administrators can configure which events appear
on the timeline and what details are shown in event popovers.

Point events appear as a single marker at a specific time. Range events appear as a bar
spanning a duration, such as state transitions.

## Base system timeline events

The base system provides 13 predefined event configurations.
