vzlist(8) Containers vzlist(8)

vzlist - show various information about containers

vzlist [-a | -S] [-n] [-H] [-o name[,name...] | -1] [-s [-]name] [-h pattern] [-N pattern] [-d pattern] [CTID [CTID ...]]
vzlist -L | --list
vzlist --help

This utility is used for listing containers and their parameters. By default only running containers are listed. If one or more CTIDs are specified, only specified containers are displayed.

For the fields that can have many values (e.g. ip), all the values are displayed only for the last (i.e. leftmost) column; otherwise, only the first value is shown.

-a, --all
List all containers.
-S, --stopped
List only not running containers (including the ones with status shown as mounted or suspended).
-n, --name
Display container names instead of hostnames.
-H, --no-header
Suppress displaying the header row.
-o, --output field[,field...]
Display only the specified fields (see Standard fields subsection below).
-1
Synonym for -H -octid, i.e. only show container IDs, one per line.
-s, --sort [-]field
Sort by the value of field (possible arguments are the same as for -o). The - before the field name means sorting in the reverse order.

List of CTs can be further filtered using the following options. For patterns one can use the same wildcards as in shell (i.e. *, ?, and []). Note: to avoid expansion of wildcards by the shell, one have to escape the pattern by either putting it into single quotes (like 'a*a') or by adding a backslash before the wildcard character (like a\*a).
-h, --hostname pattern
List only containers whose hostnames matches the pattern.
-N, --name_filter pattern
List only containers whose names matches the pattern.
-d, --description pattern
List only containers with descriptions matching the pattern.

-L, --list
list all available format specifiers that can be used for both output (-o, --output) and the sorting order (-s, --sort).

For the user beancounter fields, if suffix is not specified, current usage (a.k.a. "held") value is show. One can also use the following suffixes:

.m
maxheld
.b
barrier
.l
limit
.f
fail counter

For the disk quota fields, if suffix is not specified, current usage is shown. One can also use the following suffixes:

.s
soft limit
.h
hard limit

vzlist -o ctid,kmemsize,kmemsize.l -s kmemsize
Show CTIDs, kmemsize usage, and kmemsize limit for all running containers, sorted by the kmemsize usage.

Returns 0 upon success.
