Morphology
The phrase is directly compositional: 'track' (to monitor or record) combined with 'event' (an occurrence) yields 'an occurrence that is monitored or recorded', so the overall meaning can be derived from the parts. It is domain-specific jargon but the semantic relation is transparent and follows normal English compounding, so a B1 learner who knows both words should grasp it.
Etymology
Track event in software comes from the words track meaning to follow or record and event meaning an action. Imagine putting a small flag each time a user clicks so you can see what happened. So, it means 'a recorded user action'.
