NAME
podman-events - Monitor Podman eventsSYNOPSIS
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
* removeVerbose 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 in‐
formation 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:
┌───────────┬─────────────────────────────────────┐
│ 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
Format the output to JSON Lines or using the given Go template.

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.

├───────────────────────────────┼───────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ PODMAN_TYPE │ The event type as described above │
├───────────────────────────────┼───────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ PODMAN_TIME │ The time stamp when the event was written │
