docker: Display real-time events from the Docker daemon.

docker

$ docker system events

try on your machine

The docker system events command allows you to continuously monitor the events generated by the Docker daemon. It displays a stream of events such as container start/stop, image creation/deletion, network changes, and other Docker-related activities happening on your system in real-time.

When you execute the command, it connects to the Docker daemon (the background service responsible for managing Docker containers) and starts streaming the events. You will see a continuously updating list of events being printed on your terminal.

This command is useful for monitoring and troubleshooting Docker operations. It allows you to keep track of the activities happening within your Docker environment, making it easier to understand what is occurring and to diagnose any issues that may arise.
