# overlane events watch

{/* Generated by apps/docs/scripts/generate.mjs (CLI pages from the command registry in packages/cli). Do not edit; run `pnpm --filter @overlane/docs gen`. */}

Prints each project event as one line (one JSON object per line with --json): its sequence, type and time. Start from --since, the sequence of the last event you already have (default 0, everything); the command reconnects by itself from the last event it printed, so nothing is skipped or repeated. It stops after --limit events. Needs the read scope.

## Usage

```sh
overlane events watch [--since SEQUENCE] [--limit N]
```

## Flags

| Flag | Type | Required | Default | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `--since` | string | no |  | Sequence number of the last event already received (default 0) |
| `--limit` | string | no |  | Stop after N events (default: keep following) |

## Examples

```sh
overlane events watch
overlane events watch --since 120 --limit 20 --json
```

## Behavior

- Effect: `read` (changes nothing).
- Needs credentials: yes. Uses the network: yes.
- Supports `--dry-run`: no. Accepts `--force`: no.
- Machine-readable description: `overlane schema events watch`.

## Result

With `--json` (the default when stdout is not a terminal) the command prints this JSON Schema's shape on stdout.

```json
{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "received": {
      "type": "integer",
      "minimum": 0,
      "maximum": 9007199254740991
    },
    "cursor": {
      "type": "integer",
      "minimum": 0,
      "maximum": 9007199254740991
    }
  },
  "required": [
    "received",
    "cursor"
  ],
  "additionalProperties": false
}
```

See [exit codes](/cli/#exit-codes) for the status the process returns.
