Information can include historical 18 information and real-time information. 19 20 Docker containers will report the following events: 21 22 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 23 24 Docker images report the following events: 25 26 delete, import, load, pull, push, save, tag, untag 27 28 Docker volumes report the following events: 29 30 create, mount, unmount, destroy 31 32 Docker networks report the following events: 33 34 create, connect, disconnect, destroy 35 36 # OPTIONS 37 **--help** 38 Print usage statement 39 40 **-f**, **--filter**=[] 41 Filter output based on these conditions 42 - container (`container=<name or id>`) 43 - event (`event=<event action>`) 44 - image (`image=<tag or id>`) 45 - plugin (experimental) (`plugin=<name or id>`) 46 - label (`label=<key>` or `label=<key>=<value>`) 47 - type (`type=<container or image or volume or network or daemon>`) 48 - volume (`volume=<name or id>`) 49 - network (`network=<name or id>`) 50 - daemon (`daemon=<name or id>`) 51 52 **--since**="" 53 Show all events created since timestamp 54 55 **--until**="" 56 Stream events until this timestamp 57 58 **--format**="" 59 Format the output using the given Go template 60 61 The `--since` and `--until` parameters can be Unix timestamps, date formatted 62 timestamps, or Go duration strings (e.g. `10m`, `1h30m`) computed 63 relative to the client machine's time. If you do not provide the `--since` option, 64 the command returns only new and/or live events. Supported formats for date 65 formatted time stamps include RFC3339Nano, RFC3339, `2006-01-02T15:04:05`, 66 `2006-01-02T15:04:05.999999999`, `2006-01-02Z07:00`, and `2006-01-02`. The local 67 timezone on the client will be used if you do not provide either a `Z` or a 68 `+-00:00` timezone offset at the end of the timestamp. When providing Unix 69 timestamps enter seconds[.nanoseconds], where seconds is the number of seconds 70 that have elapsed since January 1, 1970 (midnight UTC/GMT), not counting leap 71 seconds (aka Unix epoch or Unix time), and the optional .nanoseconds field is a 72 fraction of a second no more than nine digits long. 73 74 # EXAMPLES 75 76 ## Listening for Docker events 77 78 After running docker events a container 786d698004576 is started and stopped 79 (The container name has been shortened in the output below): 80 81 # docker events 82 2015-01-28T20:21:31.000000000-08:00 59211849bc10: (from whenry/testimage:latest) start 83 2015-01-28T20:21:31.000000000-08:00 59211849bc10: (from whenry/testimage:latest) die 84 2015-01-28T20:21:32.000000000-08:00 59211849bc10: (from whenry/testimage:latest) stop 85 86 ## Listening for events since a given date 87 Again the output container IDs have been shortened for the purposes of this document: 88 89 # docker events --since '2015-01-28' 90 2015-01-28T20:25:38.000000000-08:00 c21f6c22ba27: (from whenry/testimage:latest) create 91 2015-01-28T20:25:38.000000000-08:00 c21f6c22ba27: (from whenry/testimage:latest) start 92 2015-01-28T20:25:39.000000000-08:00 c21f6c22ba27: (from whenry/testimage:latest) create 93 2015-01-28T20:25:39.000000000-08:00 c21f6c22ba27: (from whenry/testimage:latest) start 94 2015-01-28T20:25:40.000000000-08:00 c21f6c22ba27: (from whenry/testimage:latest) die 95 2015-01-28T20:25:42.000000000-08:00 c21f6c22ba27: (from whenry/testimage:latest) stop 96 2015-01-28T20:25:45.000000000-08:00 c21f6c22ba27: (from whenry/testimage:latest) start 97 2015-01-28T20:25:45.000000000-08:00 c21f6c22ba27: (from whenry/testimage:latest) die 98 2015-01-28T20:25:46.000000000-08:00 c21f6c22ba27: (from whenry/testimage:latest) stop 99 100 The following example outputs all events that were generated in the last 3 minutes, 101 relative to the current time on the client machine: 102 103 # docker events --since '3m' 104 2015-05-12T11:51:30.999999999Z07:00 4386fb97867d: (from ubuntu-1:14.04) die 105 2015-05-12T15:52:12.999999999Z07:00 4386fb97867d: (from ubuntu-1:14.04) stop 106 2015-05-12T15:53:45.999999999Z07:00 7805c1d35632: (from redis:2.8) die 107 2015-05-12T15:54:03.999999999Z07:00 7805c1d35632: (from redis:2.8) stop 108 109 If you do not provide the --since option, the command returns only new and/or 110 live events. 111 112 ## Format 113 114 If a format (`--format`) is specified, the given template will be executed 115 instead of the default format.
