man/src/system/events.md - external/github.com/docker/cli - Git at Google

 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

 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.

 # 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  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.

 ## Format

 If a format (`--format`) is specified, the given template will be executed
 instead of the default format. Go's **text/template** package describes all the
 details of the format.

     # docker events --filter 'type=container' --format 'Type={{.Type}}  Status={{.Status}}  ID={{.ID}}'
     Type=container  Status=create  ID=2ee349dac409e97974ce8d01b70d250b85e0ba8189299c126a87812311951e26

 If a format is set to `{{json .}}`, the events are streamed as valid JSON
 Lines. For information about JSON Lines, please refer to http://jsonlines.org/ .
