```markdown
Usage: docker events [OPTIONS]
Get real time events from the server
Options:
-f, --filter value Filter output based on conditions provided (default [])
--format string Format the output using the given Go template
--help Print usage
--since string Show all events created since timestamp
--until string Stream events until this timestamp
```
## Description
Use `docker events` to get real-time events from the server. These events differ
per Docker object type.
### Object types
#### Containers
Docker containers report the following events:
- `attach`
- `commit`
- `copy`
- `create`
- `destroy`
- `detach`
- `die`
- `exec_create`
- `exec_detach`
- `exec_start`
- `export`
- `health_status`
- `kill`
- `oom`
- `pause`
- `rename`
- `resize`
- `restart`
- `start`
- `stop`
- `top`
- `unpause`
- `update`
#### Images
Docker images report the following events:
- `delete`
- `import`
- `load`
- `pull`
- `push`
- `save`
- `tag`
- `untag`
#### Plugins
Docker plugins report the following events:
- `enable`
- `disable`
- `install`
- `remove`
#### Volumes
Docker volumes report the following events:
- `create`
- `destroy`
- `mount`
- `unmount`
#### Networks
Docker networks report the following events:
- `create`
- `connect`
- `destroy`
- `disconnect`
- `remove`
#### Daemons
Docker daemons report the following events:
- `reload`
#### Services
Docker services report the following events:
- `create`
- `remove`
- `update`
#### Nodes
Docker nodes report the following events:
- `create`
- `remove`
- `update`
#### Secrets
Docker secrets report the following events:
- `create`
- `remove`
- `update`
#### Configs
Docker configs report the following events:
- `create`
- `remove`
- `update`
### Limiting, filtering, and formatting the output
#### Limit events by time
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 machines 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.
#### Filtering
The filtering flag (`-f` or `--filter`) format is of "key=value". If you would
like to use multiple filters, pass multiple flags (e.g.,
`--filter "foo=bar" --filter "bif=baz"`)
Using the same filter multiple times will be handled as a *OR*; for example
`--filter container=588a23dac085 --filter container=a8f7720b8c22` will display
events for container 588a23dac085 *OR* container a8f7720b8c22
Using multiple filters will be handled as a *AND*; for example
`--filter container=588a23dac085 --filter event=start` will display events for
container container 588a23dac085 *AND* the event type is *start*
The currently supported filters are:
* config (`config=<name or id>`)
* container (`container=<name or id>`)
* daemon (`daemon=<name or id>`)
* event (`event=<event action>`)
* image (`image=<tag or id>`)
* label (`label=<key>` or `label=<key>=<value>`)
* network (`network=<name or id>`)
* node (`node=<id>`)
* plugin (`plugin=<name or id>`)
* scope (`scope=<local or swarm>`)
* secret (`secret=<name or id>`)
* service (`service=<name or id>`)
* type (`type=<container or image or volume or network or daemon or plugin or service or node or secret or config>`)
* volume (`volume=<name>`)
#### Format
If a format (`--format`) is specified, the given template will be executed
instead of the default
format. Go's [text/template](http://golang.org/pkg/text/template/) package
describes all the details of the format.
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/ .
## Examples
### Basic example
You'll need two shells for this example.
**Shell 1: Listening for events:**
```bash
$ docker events
```
**Shell 2: Start and Stop containers:**
```bash
$ docker create --name test alpine:latest top
$ docker start test
$ docker stop test
```
**Shell 1: (Again .. now showing events):**
```none
2017-01-05T00:35:58.859401177+08:00 container create 0fdb48addc82871eb34eb23a847cfd033dedd1a0a37bef2e6d9eb3870fc7ff37 (image=alpine:latest, name=test)
2017-01-05T00:36:04.703631903+08:00 network connect e2e1f5ceda09d4300f3a846f0acfaa9a8bb0d89e775eb744c5acecd60e0529e2 (container=0fdb...ff37, name=bridge, type=bridge)
2017-01-05T00:36:04.795031609+08:00 container start 0fdb...ff37 (image=alpine:latest, name=test)
2017-01-05T00:36:09.830268747+08:00 container kill 0fdb...ff37 (image=alpine:latest, name=test, signal=15)
2017-01-05T00:36:09.840186338+08:00 container die 0fdb...ff37 (exitCode=143, image=alpine:latest, name=test)
2017-01-05T00:36:09.880113663+08:00 network disconnect e2e...29e2 (container=0fdb...ff37, name=bridge, type=bridge)
2017-01-05T00:36:09.890214053+08:00 container stop 0fdb...ff37 (image=alpine:latest, name=test)
```
To exit the `docker events` command, use `CTRL+C`.
### Filter events by time
You can filter the output by an absolute timestamp or relative time on the host
machine, using the following different time syntaxes:
```bash
$ docker events --since 1483283804
2017-01-05T00:35:41.241772953+08:00 volume create testVol (driver=local)

### Filter events by criteria
The following commands show several different ways to filter the `docker event`
output.
```bash
$ docker events --filter 'event=stop'
