NAME

       lxc-monitor - monitor the container state

SYNOPSIS

       lxc-monitor [-n name] [-Q name]

DESCRIPTION

       lxc-monitor  monitors  the  state  of containers. The name argument may be used to specify
       which containers to monitor. It is a regular expression, conforming with posix2, so it  is
       possible  to  monitor  all  the containers, several of them or just one. If not specified,
       name will default to '.*' which will monitor all containers in lxcpath.

       The -P, --lxcpath=PATH option may be specified multiple times to  monitor  more  than  one
       container  path. Note however that containers with the same name in multiple paths will be
       indistinguishable in the output.

OPTIONS

       -Q, --quit
              Ask the lxc-monitord daemon on each given lxcpath to  quit.  After  receiving  this
              command, lxc-monitord will exit immediately as soon as it has no clients instead of
              waiting the normal 30 seconds for new clients.  This  is  useful  if  you  need  to
              unmount the filesystem lxcpath is on.

COMMON OPTIONS

       These options are common to most of lxc commands.

       -?, -h, --help
              Print a longer usage message than normal.

       --usage
              Give the usage message

       -q, --quiet
              mute on

       -P, --lxcpath=PATH
              Use an alternate container path. The default is /var/lib/lxc.

       -o, --logfile=FILE
              Output to an alternate log FILE. The default is no log.

       -l, --logpriority=LEVEL
              Set log priority to LEVEL. The default log priority is ERROR. Possible values are :
              FATAL, ALERT, CRIT, WARN, ERROR, NOTICE, INFO, DEBUG, TRACE.

              Note that this option is setting the priority of the events log  in  the  alternate
              log file. It do not have effect on the ERROR events log on stderr.

       -n, --name=NAME
              Use  container identifier NAME.  The container identifier format is an alphanumeric
              string.

       --rcfile=FILE
              Specify the configuration  file  to  configure  the  virtualization  and  isolation
              functionalities for the container.

              This  configuration  file  if  present  will  be  used  even  if there is already a
              configuration file present in the previously created container (via lxc-create).

       --version
              Show the version number.

EXAMPLES

       lxc-monitor -n foo
              will monitor the different states for container foo.

       lxc-monitor -n 'foo|bar'
              will monitor the different states for container foo and bar.

       lxc-monitor -n '[fb].*'
              will monitor the different states for container with the name beginning with letter
              'f' or 'b'.

       lxc-monitor -n '.*'
              will monitor the different states for all containers.

DIAGNOSTIC

       The container was not found
              The specified container was not created before with the lxc-create command.
