events
Usage: docker events [OPTIONS]
Get real time events from the server
-f, --filter=[] Filter output based on conditions provided
--help=false Print usage
--since="" Show all events created since timestamp
--until="" Stream events until this timestamp
Docker containers will report the following events:
attach, commit, copy, create, destroy, die, exec_create, exec_start, export, kill, oom, pause, rename, resize, restart, start, stop, top, unpause
and Docker images will report:
delete, import, pull, push, tag, untag
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.
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 (
container=<name or id>) - event (
event=<event type>) - image (
image=<tag or id>) - label (
label=<key>orlabel=<key>=<value>)
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):

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'
