You can use the --since or --until options with Docker events to narrow down results for the selected timestamp:

    --since=""         Show all events created since timestamp
    --until=""         Stream events until this timestamp

Consider the following example:

    $ docker events --since '2015-01-01'

With filters, we can further narrow down the events log based on the event, container, and image, as follows:

• To list only the start event, use the following command: 

         $ docker events --filter 'event=start'

• To list events only from image Alpine, use the following command:

         $ docker events --filter 'image=alpine:3.5'

• To list events from a specific container, use the following command:

        $ docker events --filter 'container=b3619441cb444b87b4'

With the format option, you can control the output of the event messages:

• To only display some of the event information, you can change the format like this:

        $ docker events --format 'ID={{.ID }} Type={{.Type}} Status= 
     {{.Status}}'

• If you want the events to be streamed as valid JSON lines, then you can use the following command:

         $ docker events --format '{{json .}}'
