How to check the HISTORY of Docker Container Restarts

  • 772

I'm trying to find the history of container restarts.

Of course the STATUS field on a docker ps will show the current uptime.

However if I have a container with a restart policy such as restart: unless-stopped and it's gone through several restarts - How can I check that restart/uptime history?

If the docker engine doesn't natively track this - is there a known good method to handle this?

    You can view the docker events. E.g. this will show all restart events for the last hour:

    docker events --filter event=restart --since=60m

    For more details on docker events, see: https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/events
