By default, the Docker containers can be created, run, started, stopped, moved, and deleted. These actions are called events in the Docker events API. By constantly monitoring the events triggered by the Docker, administrators can identify how many create events were triggered while creating the containers, how many events were triggered to delete the containers etc. The Docker Events test helps administrators to figure out the various events triggered by the Docker server. This is where the DockerEventsTest test helps to figure out the various events triggered by the Docker server.

This test monitors the Docker server and reports the total number of events triggered on the containers of the Docker server. In addition, this test helps administrators to figure out how many times the start and stop events were triggered to start and stop the containers. Alongside, administrators can also identify the create events, delete events and die events that were triggered on the server. Using this test, administrators can easily identify how well the containers are managed within the Docker server and proactively be alerted to unpleasant eventualities caused due to the slowdowns in application processing as well as processing bottlenecks.

Outputs of the test : One set of results for the target Docker server being monitored

Measurement	Description	Measurement Unit	Interpretation
Total_events	Indicates the total number of events that occurred during the last measurement period.	Number	The detailed diagnosis of this measure if enabled, lists the Container ID, Container Name, Image, Event type and Time at which each event was occurred.
Create_events	Indicates the number of Create events that occrred during the last measurement period.	Number	The detailed diagnosis of this measure if enabled, lists the Container ID, Container Name, Image, Event type and Time at which each event was created.
Delete_events	Indicates the number of Delete events that occurred during the last measurement period.	Number	The detailed diagnosis of this measure if enabled, lists the Container ID, Container Name, Image, Event type and Time at which each event was deleted.
Start_events	Indicates the number of Start events that occurred during the last measurement period.	Number	The detailed diagnosis of this measure if enabled, lists the Container ID, Container Name, Image, Event type and Time at which the events were started.
Stop_events	Indicates the total number of Stop events that occurred during the last measurement period.	Number	The detailed diagnosis of this measure if enabled, lists the Container ID, Container Name, Image, Event type and Time at which the events were stopped.
Die_events	Indicates the number of die events occrred during the last measurement period.	Number	The detailed diagnosis of this measure if enabled, lists the Container ID, Container Name, Image, Event type and Time at which the die events occurred.
