Added info on my gaEvent solution

Viewing events in Google Analytics?

I know how to add code for custom events in Google Analytics—_gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'some button'])—but how do I view these events?

If it's Home -> Intelligence events -> overview, could anyone confirm if events are supposed to be real-time? Do they appear every 24 hours?

Update

Because _trackEvent doesn't appear on the admin dashboard immediately like _trackPageview I've fallen back to using the following event wrapper for _trackPageview:

window.gaEvent = function gaEvent(event_name){
  event_name = event_name.replace(/\s/gi, '_');
  _gaq.push(['_trackPageview', event_name]);
};
//super easy to use:
gaEvent('Application action');
