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

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
* 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

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.
