NAME

podman-events - Monitor Podman events

SYNOPSIS

podman events [options]

podman system events [options]

DESCRIPTION

Monitor and print events that occur in Podman. Each event includes 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 is 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 reports the follow statuses: * attach * checkpoint * cleanup * commit * connect * create * died * disconnect * exec * exec_died * exited * export * import * init * kill * mount * pause * prune * remove * rename * restart * restore * start * stop * sync * unmount * unpause * update

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

The image event type reports the following statuses: * loadFromArchive, * mount * pull * pull-error * push * remove * save * tag * unmount * untag

The system type reports the following statuses: * refresh * renumber

The volume type reports the following statuses: * create * prune * remove

The secret type reports the following statuses: * create * remove

Verbose Create Events

Setting events_container_create_inspect_data=true in containers.conf(5) instructs Podman to create more verbose container-create events which include a JSON payload with detailed information about the containers. The JSON payload is identical to the one of podman-container-inspect(1). The associated field in journald is named PODMAN_CONTAINER_INSPECT_DATA.

OPTIONS

--filter, -f=filter

Filter events that are displayed. They must be in the format of "filter=value". The following filters are supported:

In the case where an ID is used, the ID may be in its full or shortened form. The "die" event is mapped to "died" for Docker compatibility.

--format

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

--help

Print usage statement.

--no-trunc

Do not truncate the output (default true).

--since=timestamp

Show all events created since the given timestamp

--stream

Stream events and do not exit after reading the last known event (default true).

--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 are shown.

JOURNALD IDENTIFIERS

The journald events-backend of Podman uses the following journald identifiers. You can use the identifiers to filter Podman events directly with journalctl.
