.SH DESCRIPTION
\fBlxc-monitor\fR monitors the state of containers. The
\fIname\fR 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,
\fIname\fR will default to '.*' which will
monitor all containers in \fBlxcpath\fR.
.PP
The \*(T<\fB\-P, \-\-lxcpath\fR\*(T>=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.
.SH OPTIONS
.TP 
\*(T<\fB\-Q, \-\-quit\fR\*(T> 
Ask the lxc-monitord daemon on each given \fBlxcpath\fR
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 \fBlxcpath\fR is on.
.SH "COMMON OPTIONS"
These options are common to most of lxc commands.
.TP 
\*(T<\fB\-?, \-h, \-\-help\fR\*(T>
Print a longer usage message than normal.
.TP 
\*(T<\fB\-\-usage\fR\*(T>
Give the usage message
.TP 
\*(T<\fB\-q, \-\-quiet\fR\*(T>
mute on
.TP 
\*(T<\fB\-P, \-\-lxcpath=\fR\*(T>\fIPATH\fR
Use an alternate container path. The default is /var/lib/lxc.
.TP 
\*(T<\fB\-o, \-\-logfile=\fR\*(T>\fIFILE\fR
Output to an alternate log
\fIFILE\fR. The default is no log.
.TP 
\*(T<\fB\-l, \-\-logpriority=\fR\*(T>\fILEVEL\fR
Set log priority to
\fILEVEL\fR. The default log
priority is \*(T<ERROR\*(T>. Possible values are :
\*(T<FATAL\*(T>, \*(T<ALERT\*(T>,
\*(T<CRIT\*(T>,
\*(T<WARN\*(T>, \*(T<ERROR\*(T>,
\*(T<NOTICE\*(T>, \*(T<INFO\*(T>,
\*(T<DEBUG\*(T>, \*(T<TRACE\*(T>.

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.
.TP 
\*(T<\fB\-n, \-\-name=\fR\*(T>\fINAME\fR
Use container identifier \fINAME\fR.
The container identifier format is an alphanumeric string.
.TP 
\*(T<\fB\-\-rcfile=\fR\*(T>\fIFILE\fR
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).
.TP 
\*(T<\fB\-\-version\fR\*(T>
Show the version number.
.SH EXAMPLES
.TP 
lxc-monitor -n foo
will monitor the different states for container foo.
.TP 
lxc-monitor -n 'foo|bar'
will monitor the different states for container foo and bar.
.TP 
lxc-monitor -n '[fb].*'
will monitor the different states for container with the
name beginning with letter 'f' or 'b'.
.TP 
lxc-monitor -n '.*'
will monitor the different states for all containers.
.SH DIAGNOSTIC
.TP 
The container was not found
The specified container was not created before with
the \fBlxc-create\fR command.
