'attaching binary file to an event in cumulocity

I have a scenario where in my code creates a file and an event in cumulocity as well. I need to attach the binary file to the event, however none of the API's provide me the functionality, any guidance as to how to go ahead please?


Update:

On having a look at the documentation https://cumulocity.com/api/10.11.0/#tag/Attachments , the binaryElement has a following structure BinaryElement

I have modified my JAVA code in the following manner:

String pathEvent = platform.getUrl().get()+"/event/events/{{eventId}}/binaries";
    String pathEventAttachment = pathEvent.replace("{{eventId}}", event.getId().getValue());
    
    HttpHeaders headers = RequestAuthenticationEncoder.encode(getCredentials());
    headers.setContentType(MediaType.MULTIPART_FORM_DATA);
    MultiValueMap<String, Object> map = new LinkedMultiValueMap<>();
    map.add("file",new ByteArrayResource(FileUtils.readFileToByteArray(file)));//anychanges here fails the code
    map.add("filename", file.getName().getBytes());

    HttpEntity<MultiValueMap<String, Object>> request = new HttpEntity<>(map,headers);
    restTemplate.postForObject(pathEventAttachment, request, String.class);
    log.info("Binary file added to the event {}", event.getId().getValue());

Binary is created for the event, however the filename is incorrect: Output structure

Please let me know some insights as to why the name is not changing?
