The `status` filter matches containers by status. You can filter using
`created`, `restarting`, `running`, `removing`, `paused`, `exited` and `dead`. For example,
to filter for `running` containers:
The `status` filter matches containers by status. The possible values for the container status are:
| Status | Description |
| :----------- | :---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `created` | A container that has never been started. |
| `running` | A running container, started by either `docker start` or `docker run`. |
| `paused` | A paused container. See `docker pause`. |
| `restarting` | A container which is starting due to the designated restart policy for that container. |
| `exited` | A container which is no longer running. For example, the process inside the container completed or the container was stopped using the `docker stop` command. |
| `removing` | A container which is in the process of being removed. See `docker rm`. |
| `dead` | A "defunct" container; for example, a container that was only partially removed because resources were kept busy by an external process. `dead` containers cannot be (re)started, only removed. |
For example, to filter for `running` containers:
```console
$ docker ps --filter status=running
