doctl compute action

Description

The sub-commands of doctl compute action retrieve the history of actions taken on your resources.

You can retrieve information for a specific action by adding the action’s ID as an argument. For example, while doctl compute action list lists all of the actions taken on all of the resources in your account, doctl compute action get <action-id> retrieves details for a specific action. Additionally, you can use --action-type flag to filter the list of actions by type. For example, doctl compute action list --action-type power_on lists all of the actions that powered on a resource.
