docker-latest-events: Get real time events from the server
NAME
docker-events - Get real time events from the server
SYNOPSIS
docker events [--help] [-f|--filter[=[]]] [--since[=SINCE]] [--until[=UNTIL]]
DESCRIPTION
Get event information from the Docker daemon. Information can include historical information and real-time information.
Docker containers will report the following events:
-
attach, commit, copy, create, destroy, detach, die, exec_create, exec_detach, exec_start, export, kill, oom, pause, rename, resize, restart, start, stop, top, unpause, update
Docker images report the following events:
-
delete, import, load, pull, push, save, tag, untag
Docker volumes report the following events:
-
create, mount, unmount, destroy
Docker networks report the following events:
-
create, connect, disconnect, destroy
OPTIONS
--help
-f, --filter=[]
--since=""
--until=""
The --since and --until parameters can be Unix timestamps, date formatted
timestamps, or Go duration strings (e.g. 10m, 1h30m) computed
relative to the client machine's time. If you do not provide the --since option,
the command returns only new and/or live events. Supported formats for date
formatted time stamps include RFC3339Nano, RFC3339, 2006-01-02T15:04:05,
2006-01-02T15:04:05.999999999, 2006-01-02Z07:00, and 2006-01-02. The local
timezone on the client will be used if you do not provide either a Z or a
+-00:00 timezone offset at the end of the timestamp. When providing Unix
timestamps enter seconds[.nanoseconds], where seconds is the number of seconds
that have elapsed since January 1, 1970 (midnight UTC/GMT), not counting leap
seconds (aka Unix epoch or Unix time), and the optional .nanoseconds field is a
fraction of a second no more than nine digits long.
After running docker events a container 786d698004576 is started and stopped
(The container name has been shortened in the output below):
Again the output container IDs have been shortened for the purposes of this document:
The following example outputs all events that were generated in the last 3 minutes,
relative to the current time on the client machine:
If you do not provide the --since option, the command returns only new and/or
live events.
