NAME

podman-events - Monitor Podman events

SYNOPSIS

podman events [options]

DESCRIPTION

Monitor and print events that occur in Podman. Each event will include a timestamp, a type, a status, name (if applicable), and image (if applicable). The default logging mechanism is journald. This can be changed in libpod.conf by changing the events_logger value to file. Only file and journald are accepted. A none logger is also available but this logging mechanism completely disables events; nothing will be reported by podman events.

The container event type will report the follow statuses:
 * attach
 * checkpoint
 * cleanup
 * commit
 * create
 * exec
 * export
 * import
 * init
 * kill
 * mount
 * pause
 * prune
 * remove
 * restart
 * restore
 * start
 * stop
 * sync
 * unmount
 * unpause

The pod event type will report the follow statuses:
 * create
 * kill
 * pause
 * remove
 * start
 * stop
 * unpause

The image event type will report the following statuses:
 * prune
 * pull
 * push
 * remove
 * save
 * tag
 * untag

The system type will report the following statuses:
 * refresh
 * renumber

The volume type will report the following statuses:
 * create
 * prune
 * remove

OPTIONS

--help

Print usage statement.

--format

Format the output to JSON Lines or using the given Go template.

--filter=filter

Filter events that are displayed. They must be in the format of "filter=value". The following filters are supported:
 * container=name_or_id
 * event=event_status (described above)
 * image=name_or_id
 * pod=name_or_id
 * volume=name_or_id
 * type=event_type (described above)

In the case where an ID is used, the ID may be in its full or shortened form.

--since=timestamp

Show all events created since the given timestamp

--until=timestamp

Show all events created until the given timestamp

The since and until values can be RFC3339Nano time stamps or a Go duration string such as 10m, 5h. If no since or until values are provided, only new events will be shown.
