to what/where are the "pending events" that are being tallied in the system overview section of the System Diagnostics home page?

In my instance the "pending events" counter is red and has 8000+ events

what is the source data table for this metric?

[Tony Chatfield1 · Accepted solution]

This would be the sysevent table

/sysevent_list.do?

Thank you Tony, found that metric showed count of all records in sysevent table with status of 'ready'.
