    12  # events
    13  
    14      Usage: docker events [OPTIONS]
    15  
    16      Get real time events from the server
    17  
    18        -f, --filter=[]    Filter output based on conditions provided
    19        --since=""         Show all events created since timestamp
    20        --until=""         Stream events until this timestamp
    21  
    22  Docker containers will report the following events:
    23  
    24      create, destroy, die, export, kill, oom, pause, restart, start, stop, unpause
    25  
    26  and Docker images will report:
    27  
    28      untag, delete
    29  
    30  The `--since` and `--until` parameters can be Unix timestamps, RFC3339
    31  dates or Go duration strings (e.g. `10m`, `1h30m`) computed relative to
    32  client machine’s time. If you do not provide the --since option, the command
    33  returns only new and/or live events.
    34  
    35  ## Filtering
    36  
    37  The filtering flag (`-f` or `--filter`) format is of "key=value". If you would
    38  like to use multiple filters, pass multiple flags (e.g., 
    39  `--filter "foo=bar" --filter "bif=baz"`)
    40  
    41  Using the same filter multiple times will be handled as a *OR*; for example
    42  `--filter container=588a23dac085 --filter container=a8f7720b8c22` will display
    43  events for container 588a23dac085 *OR* container a8f7720b8c22
    44  
    45  Using multiple filters will be handled as a *AND*; for example
    46  `--filter container=588a23dac085 --filter event=start` will display events for
    47  container container 588a23dac085 *AND* the event type is *start*
    48  
    49  The currently supported filters are:
    50  
    51  * container
    52  * event
    53  * image
    54  
    55  ## Examples
    56  
    57  You'll need two shells for this example.
    58  
    59  **Shell 1: Listening for events:**
    60  
    61      $ docker events
    62  
    63  **Shell 2: Start and Stop containers:**
    64  
    65      $ docker start 4386fb97867d
    66      $ docker stop 4386fb97867d
    67      $ docker stop 7805c1d35632
    68  
    69  **Shell 1: (Again .. now showing events):**

    98  This example outputs all events that were generated in the last 3 minutes,
    99  relative to the current time on the client machine:
   100  
   101      $ docker events --since '3m'
