# Viewing an Elastic Beanstalk environment's event stream This topic explains how to access events and notifications associated with your application. ## Viewing events with the Elastic Beanstalk console **To view events with the Elastic Beanstalk console** 1. Open the [Elastic Beanstalk console](https://console.aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk), and in the **Regions** list, select your AWS Region. 1. In the navigation pane, choose **Environments**, and then choose the name of your environment from the list. 1. In the navigation pane, choose **Events**. The Events page shows a list of all events that have been recorded for the environment. You can page through the list choosing **<** (previous), **>** (next), or page numbers. You can filter the type of events shown by using the **Severity** drop-down list. ## Viewing events with command line tools The [EB CLI](eb-cli3.md) and [AWS CLI](https://aws.amazon.com/cli/) both provide commands for retrieving events. If you are managing your environment using the EB CLI, use [**eb events**](eb3-events.md) to print a list of events. This command also has a `--follow` option that continues to show new events until you press **Ctrl\+C** to stop output. To pull events using the AWS CLI, use the `describe-events` command and specify the environment by name or ID: ``` $ aws elasticbeanstalk describe-events --environment-id e-gbjzqccra3 { "Events": [ { "ApplicationName": "elastic-beanstalk-example", "EnvironmentName": "elasticBeanstalkExa-env", "Severity": "INFO", "RequestId": "a4c7bfd6-2043-11e5-91e2-9114455c358a", "Message": "Environment update completed successfully.", "EventDate": "2015-07-01T22:52:12.639Z" }, ... ``` For more information about the command line tools, see [Setting up the EB command line interface (EB CLI) to manage Elastic Beanstalk](eb-cli3.md).
