LXC.MONITOR(1)

💅 lxc-monitor — bestie's guide to the LXD command line client (section 1)

Okay so picture this: you're on the lxc-monitor manual page, part of the LXD - Command line client family (section 1 of the manual, iykyk). And honestly? It's giving "small page, big main character energy." Let's get into it 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

lxc-monitor — monitor a local or remote LXD server 👀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

lxc monitor [:] [flags]

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So here's the vibe:

Monitor a local or remote LXD server

And the default? Lowkey iconic — by default the monitor will listen to all message types. No filtering, no picking favorites, it just hears everything. Periodt. 🫶

🔥 OPTIONS 🔥

• --all-projects[=false] — show events from all projects. Everyone gets an invite to the party 💅
• -f, --format="yaml" — pick your format: json|pretty|yaml. Default is "yaml" 🦋
• --loglevel="" — minimum level for log messages. Heads up bestie: this one's only available when using pretty format ✨
• --pretty[=false] — pretty rendering, which is literally just a short way of saying --format=pretty 🎀
• --type=[] — which event type to listen for. Empty by default, so it listens to all of them 💀

🌈 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 🌈

These come from the parent command, so they're not even this page's kids, but they're still in the group chat:

• --debug[=false] — show all debug messages 🐛
• --force-local[=false] — force using the local unix socket 🔌
• -h, --help[=false] — print help 🫶
• --project="" — override the source project 🗂️
• -q, --quiet[=false] — don't show progress information (shhh 🤫)
• --sub-commands[=false] — use this with help or --help to view sub-commands 🌿
• -v, --verbose[=false] — show all information messages 📣
• --version[=false] — print version number ⭐

---

⭐ EXAMPLE ⭐

Three little demos, all slaying in their own way:

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

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

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

Like… look at that second one. Pretty and filtered and leveled up. Ate. 💅🔥
