podman-events - Monitor Podman events
podman events [options]
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 containers.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.
By default, streaming mode is used, printing new events as they occur. Previous events can be listed via --since and --until.
The container event type will report the follow statuses:
* attach
* checkpoint
* cleanup
* commit
* connect
* create
* disconnect
* exec
* exec_died
* exited
* export
* import
* init
* kill
* mount
* pause
* prune
* remove
* rename
* 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:
* loadFromArchive,
* mount
* pull
* push
* remove
* save
* tag
* unmount
* untag
The system type will report the following statuses:
* refresh
* renumber
The volume type will report the following statuses:
* create
* prune
* remove
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
* label=key=value
* 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.
Format the output to JSON Lines or using the given Go template.
| Placeholder | Description |
| .Attributes | created_at, _by, labels, and more (map[]) |
| .ContainerExitCode | Exit code (int) |
| .Details ... | Internal structure, not actually useful |
| .HealthStatus | Health Status (string) |
| .ID | Container ID (full 64-bit SHA) |
| .Image | Name of image being run (string) |
| .Name | Container name (string) |
| .Network | Name of network being used (string) |
| .Status | Event status (e.g., create, start, died, ...) |
| .Time | Event timestamp (string) |
| .Type | Event type (e.g., image, container, pod, ...) |
Print usage statement.
Do not truncate the output (default true).
Show all events created since the given 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.
