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:
create, destroy, die, export, kill, pause, restart, start, stop, unpause
and Docker images will report:
untag, delete
OPTIONS
--help Print usage statement
-f, --filter=[] Provide filter values (i.e., 'event=stop')
--since="" Show all events created since timestamp
--until="" Stream events until this timestamp
You can specify --since and --until parameters as an RFC 3339 date,
a UNIX timestamp, or a Go duration string (e.g. 1m30s, 3h). Docker computes
the date relative to the client machine’s time.
EXAMPLES
Listening for Docker events
After running docker events a container 786d698004576 is started and stopped (The container name has been shortened in the output below):
# docker events
2015-01-28T20:21:31.000000000-08:00 59211849bc10: (from whenry/testimage:latest) start
2015-01-28T20:21:31.000000000-08:00 59211849bc10: (from whenry/testimage:latest) die
2015-01-28T20:21:32.000000000-08:00 59211849bc10: (from whenry/testimage:latest) stop
Listening for events since a given date
Again the output container IDs have been shortened for the purposes of this document:
# docker events --since '2015-01-28'
2015-01-28T20:25:38.000000000-08:00 c21f6c22ba27: (from whenry/testimage:latest) create
2015-01-28T20:25:38.000000000-08:00 c21f6c22ba27: (from whenry/testimage:latest) start
2015-01-28T20:25:39.000000000-08:00 c21f6c22ba27: (from whenry/testimage:latest) create
2015-01-28T20:25:39.000000000-08:00 c21f6c22ba27: (from whenry/testimage:latest) start
2015-01-28T20:25:40.000000000-08:00 c21f6c22ba27: (from whenry/testimage:latest) die
2015-01-28T20:25:42.000000000-08:00 c21f6c22ba27: (from whenry/testimage:latest) stop
2015-01-28T20:25:45.000000000-08:00 c21f6c22ba27: (from whenry/testimage:latest) start
2015-01-28T20:25:45.000000000-08:00 c21f6c22ba27: (from whenry/testimage:latest) die
2015-01-28T20:25:46.000000000-08:00 c21f6c22ba27: (from whenry/testimage:latest) stop
The following example outputs all events that were generated in the last 3 minutes, relative to the current time on the client machine:
# docker events --since '3m'
2015-05-12T11:51:30.999999999Z07:00 4386fb97867d: (from ubuntu-1:14.04) die
2015-05-12T15:52:12.999999999Z07:00 4 4386fb97867d: (from ubuntu-1:14.04) stop
2015-05-12T15:53:45.999999999Z07:00 7805c1d35632: (from redis:2.8) die
2015-05-12T15:54:03.999999999Z07:00 7805c1d35632: (from redis:2.8) stop
If you do not provide the --since option, the command returns only new and/or live events.
