events

Usage: docker events [OPTIONS]

Get real time events from the server

  -f, --filter=[]    Filter output based on conditions provided
  --since=""         Show all events created since timestamp
  --until=""         Stream events until this timestamp

Docker containers will report the following events:

create, destroy, die, export, kill, oom, pause, restart, start, stop, unpause

and Docker images will report:

untag, delete

The --since and --until parameters can be Unix timestamps, RFC3339 dates or Go duration strings (e.g. 10m, 1h30m) computed relative to client machines time. If you do not provide the --since option, the command returns only new and/or live events.

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:

  • container
  • event
  • image

Examples

You'll need two shells for this example.

Shell 1: Listening for events:

$ docker events

Shell 2: Start and Stop containers:

$ docker start 4386fb97867d
$ docker stop 4386fb97867d
$ docker stop 7805c1d35632

Shell 1: (Again .. now showing events):

2014-05-10T17:42:14.999999999Z07:00 4386fb97867d: (from ubuntu-1:14.04) start

2014-05-10T17:42:14.999999999Z07:00 7805c1d35632: (from redis:2.8) stop

Show events in the past from a specified time:

$ docker events --since 1378216169
2014-03-10T17:42:14.999999999Z07:00 4386fb97867d: (from ubuntu-1:14.04) die

2014-03-10T17:42:14.999999999Z07:00 7805c1d35632: (from redis:2.8) stop

$ docker events --since '2013-09-03'
2014-09-03T17:42:14.999999999Z07:00 4386fb97867d: (from ubuntu-1:14.04) start

2014-09-03T17:42:14.999999999Z07:00 7805c1d35632: (from redis:2.8) stop

$ docker events --since '2013-09-03T15:49:29'
2014-09-03T15:49:29.999999999Z07:00 4386fb97867d: (from ubuntu-1:14.04) die

2014-09-03T15:49:29.999999999Z07:00 7805c1d35632: (from redis:2.8) stop

This 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
