SYNOPSIS

conmon [options]
 
 

DESCRIPTION

conmon is a command-line program for monitoring and managing the lifecycle of Linux containers that follow the Open Container Initiative (OCI) format.
 
 

APPLICATION OPTIONS

--api-version Conmon API version to use.
 
-b, --bundle Location of the OCI Bundle path.
 
-c, --cid Identification of Container.
 
--exec-attach Attach to an exec session.
 
-e, --exec Exec a command into a running container.
 
--exec-process-spec Path to the process spec for execution.
 
--exit-command Path to the program to execute when the container terminates its execution.
 
--exit-command-arg Additional arguments to pass to the exit command. Can be specified multiple time.
 
--exit-delay Delay before invoking the exit command (in seconds).
 
--exit-dir Path to the directory where exit files are written.
 
-h, --help Show help options.
 
-i, --stdin Open up a pipe to pass stdin to the container.
 
This option tells conmon to setup the pipe regardless of whether there is a terminal connection.
 
-l, --log-path Path to store all stdout and stderr messages from the container.
 
--leave-stdin-open Leave stdin open when the attached client disconnects.
 
--log-level Print debug logs based on the log level.
 
--log-size-max Maximum size of the log file.
 
--log-tag Additional tag to use for logging.
 
-n, --name Container name.
 
--no-new-keyring Do not create a new session keyring for the container.
 
--no-pivot Do not use pivot_root.
 
--no-sync-log Do not manually call sync on logs after container shutdown.
 
-0, --persist-dir Persistent directory for a container that can be used for storing container data.
 
-p, --container-pidfile PID file for the initial pid inside of the container.
 
-P, --conmon-pidfile PID file for the conmon process.
 
-r, --runtime Path to store runtime data for the container.
 
--replace-listen-pid Replace listen pid if set for oci-runtime pid.
 
--restore Restore a container from a checkpoint.
 
--runtime-arg Additional arguments to pass to the runtime. Can be specified multiple times.
 
--runtime-opt Additional options to pass to the restore or exec command. Can be specified multiple times.
 
-s, --systemd-cgroup Enable systemd cgroup manager, rather then use the cgroupfs directly.
 
--socket-dir-path Location of container attach sockets.
 
--sync Keep the main conmon process as its child by only forking once.
 
--syslog Log to syslog (use with cgroupfs cgroup manager).
 
-t, --terminal Allocate a pseudo-TTY. The default is false.
 
When set to true, conmon will allocate a pseudo-tty and attach to the standard input of the container. This can be used, for example, to run a throwaway interactive shell. The default is false.
 
-T, --timeout Kill container after specified timeout in seconds.
 
-u, --cuuid Specify the Container UUID to use.
