NAME
lxc-monitor - monitor the container stateSYNOPSIS
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

-

LEVEL. The default log
priority is ERROR. Possible values are :

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

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