% podman-events 1 podman\-events - Monitor Podman events podman events [options] podman system events [options] 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 Setting `eventscontainercreateinspectdata=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 `PODMANCONTAINERINSPECT_DATA`. Filter events that are displayed. They must be in the format of "filter=value". The following filters are supported: | Filter | Description | ||-| | container | [Name or ID] Container's name or ID | | event | event_status (described above) | | image | [Name or ID] Image name or ID | | label | [key=value] label | | pod | [Name or ID] Pod name or ID | | volume | [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. The "die" event is mapped to "died" for Docker compatibility. Format the output to JSON Lines or using the given Go template. | Placeholder | Description | | | -- | | .Attributes ... | createdat, by, labels, and more (map[]) | | .ContainerExitCode | Exit code (int) | | .ContainerInspectData | Payload of the container's inspect | | .Error | Error message in case the event status is an error (e.g. pull-error) | | .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) | | .PodID | ID of pod associated with container, if any | | .Status | Event status

create, start, died, ...) | | .Time | Event timestamp (string) | | .TimeNano | Event timestamp with nanosecond precision (int64) | | .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 Stream events and do not exit after reading the last known event (default true). 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. The journald events-backend of Podman uses the following journald identifiers. You can use the identifiers to filter Podman events directly with `journalctl`. | Identifier | Description | |-|| | SYSLOG_IDENTIFIER | Always set to "podman" | | PODMAN_EVENT | The event status as described above | | PODMAN_TYPE | The event type as described above | | PODMAN_TIME | The time stamp when the event was written | | PODMAN_NAME | Name of the event object (e.g., container, image) | | PODMAN_ID | ID of the event object (e.g., container, image) | | PODMANEXITCODE | Exit code of the container | | PODMANPODID | Pod ID of the container | | PODMAN_LABELS | Labels of the container | | PODMANHEALTHSTATUS | Health status of the container | | PODMANCONTAINERINSPECT_DATA | The JSON payload of `podman-inspect` as described above | | PODMANNETWORKNAME | The name of the network | Show Podman events: ``` $ podman events 2019-03-02 10:33:42.312377447 -0600 CST container create 34503c192940 (image=docker.io/library/alpine:latest, name=friendly_allen) 2019-03-02 10:33:46.958768077 -0600 CST container init 34503c192940 (image=docker.io/library/alpine:latest, name=friendly_allen) 2019-03-02 10:33:46.973661968 -0600 CST container start 34503c192940 (image=docker.io/library/alpine:latest, name=friendly_allen) 2019-03-02 10:33:50.833761479 -0600 CST container stop 34503c192940 (image=docker.io/library/alpine:latest, name=friendly_allen) 2019-03-02 10:33:51.047104966 -0600 CST container cleanup 34503c192940 (image=docker.io/library/alpine:latest, name=friendly_allen) ``` Show only Podman container create events: ``` $ podman events -f event=create 2019-03-02 10:36:01.375685062 -0600 CST container create 20dc581f6fbf (image=docker.io/library/alpine:latest, name=sharp_morse) 2019-03-02 10:36:08.561188337 -0600 CST container create 58e7e002344c (image=registry.k8s.io/pause:3.1, name=3e701f270d54-infra) 2019-03-02 10:36:13.146899437 -0600 CST volume create cad6dc50e087 (image=, name=cad6dc50e0879568e7d656bd004bd343d6035e7fc4024e1711506fe2fd459e6f) 2019-03-02 10:36:29.978806894 -0600 CST container create d81e30f1310f (image=docker.io/library/busybox:latest, name=musing_newton) ``` Show only Podman pod create events: ``` $ podman events --filter event=create --filter type=pod 2019-03-02 10:44:29.601746633 -0600 CST pod create 1df5ebca7b44 (image=, name=confident_hawking) 2019-03-02 10:44:42.374637304 -0600 CST pod create ca731231718e (image=, name=webapp) 2019-03-02 10:44:47.486759133 -0600 CST pod create 71e807fc3a8e (image=, name=reverent_swanson) ``` Show only Podman events created in the last five minutes: ``` $ sudo podman events --since 5m 2019-03-02 10:44:29.598835409 -0600 CST container create b629d10d3831 (image=registry.k8s.io/pause:3.1, name=1df5ebca7b44-infra) 2019-03-02 10:44:29.601746633 -0600 CST pod create 1df5ebca7b44 (image=, name=confident_hawking) 2019-03-02 10:44:42.371100253 -0600 CST container create 170a0f457d00 (image=registry.k8s.io/pause:3.1, name=ca731231718e-infra) 2019-03-02 10:44:42.374637304 -0600 CST pod create ca731231718e (image=, name=webapp) ``` Show Podman events in JSON Lines format: ``` $ podman events --format json {"ID":"683b0909d556a9c02fa8cd2b61c3531a965db42158627622d1a67b391964d519","Image":"localhost/myshdemo:latest","Name":"agitated_diffie","Status":"cleanup","Time":"2019-04-27T22:47:00.849932843-04:00","Type":"container"} {"ID":"a0f8ab051bfd43f9c5141a8a2502139707e4b38d98ac0872e57c5315381e88ad","Image":"docker.io/library/alpine:latest","Name":"friendly_tereshkova","Status":"unmount","Time":"2019-04-28T13:43:38.063017276-04:00","Type":"container"} ``` , March 2019, Originally compiled by Brent Baude <bbaude@redhat.com>
