$ dok events

Live daemon event stream, colour-coded

Synopsis

dok events [OPTIONS]

Description

The daemon event stream, colour-coded by object type and action, with exit codes, signals and health changes picked out.

exec_* events fire on every docker exec and every healthcheck probe, and would drown the lifecycle events people watch for, so they are hidden unless --exec is given. --since and --until take timestamps or durations such as 2h.

Options

--since <SINCE>: Show events created since this timestamp or duration (e.g. 1h)
--until <UNTIL>: Stop at this timestamp instead of streaming forever
-T, --type <TYPE>: Restrict to these object types (container, image, volume, network, …)
-g, --grep <GREP>: Only lines containing this substring
--exec: Include exec_* events (docker exec and healthcheck probes)

Every command also takes the global options: --json, --color, --icons and --theme.

Examples

$ dok events  # stream from now

$ dok events --since 2h  # replay the last two hours

$ dok events -T container,volume  # only these object types
