💖 incus-monitor — monitor a local or remote server 💖

okay bestie, you're reading the manpage for incus-monitor, which lives inside the Incus - Command line client(1) manual. it's giving "watch everything happen in real time" and honestly? iconic. let's get into it 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

incus monitor [:] [flags]

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Description:

Monitor a local or remote server 👀

fr fr, that's the whole job. it sits there and watches a local or remote server for you.

By default the monitor will listen to all message types. like, every single one. no filtering, no pickiness, just vibes and a firehose of events 💅

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • --all-projects[=false] — show events from all projects, not just the one you're chilling in
  • -f, --format="yaml" — the format, bestie. options are json, pretty, or yaml (and yes, yaml is the default 💖)
  • --loglevel="" — minimum level for log messages. heads up though, this one's only available when using pretty format 🙈
  • --pretty[=false] — pretty rendering, which is just a lil shortcut for --format=pretty ✨
  • -t, --type=[] — which event type(s) you wanna listen for

👑 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 👑

these are the ones incus passes down to everybody, so they're not technically monitor's, but they're absolutely invited to the party 🫶

  • --debug[=false] — show all debug messages. all of them. every last one 🐛
  • --explain[=false] — if the command is valid, explain its parsed arguments instead of running it. it's like the command narrating its own intentions, lowkey
  • --force-local[=false] — force using the local unix socket, no matter what
  • -h, --help[=false] — print help 💖
  • --project="" — override the source project
  • -q, --quiet[=false] — don't show progress information. shhh 🤫
  • --sub-commands[=false] — use with help or --help to view sub-commands
  • -v, --verbose[=false] — show all information messages. the chatty mode 🗣️
  • --version[=false] — print version number

🌈 EXAMPLE 🌈

the receipts, bestie. copy these exactly:

incus monitor --type=logging
    Only show log messages.

incus monitor --pretty --type=logging --loglevel=info
    Show a pretty log of messages with info level or higher.

incus monitor --type=lifecycle
    Only show lifecycle events.

so: one for just logs, one for pretty logs at info level and up, and one for pure lifecycle drama. pick your fighter 💅
