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.
