Docker - Logging and Monitoring

Why might the docker events command not show any events after a container is removed, even with correct filters?

Docker events streams live events from the daemon starting when the command runs; it does not show past events.
Step 2: Evaluate other options
Container removal events are supported. Docker daemon does not cache events for delayed output. Filters do not block removal events if set correctly.
