+ <title>Description</title>
+
+ <para><command>systemd-analyze</command> may be used to determine
+ system boot-up performance statistics and retrieve other state and
+ tracing information from the system and service manager, and to
+ verify the correctness of unit files. It is also used to access
+ special functions useful for advanced system manager debugging.</para>
+
+ <para><command>systemd-analyze time</command> prints the time
+ spent in the kernel before userspace has been reached, the time
+ spent in the initial RAM disk (initrd) before normal system
+ userspace has been reached, and the time normal system userspace
+ took to initialize. Note that these measurements simply measure
+ the time passed up to the point where all system services have
+ been spawned, but not necessarily until they fully finished
+ initialization or the disk is idle.</para>
+
+ <para><command>systemd-analyze blame</command> prints a list of
+ all running units, ordered by the time they took to initialize.
+ This information may be used to optimize boot-up times. Note that
+ the output might be misleading as the initialization of one
+ service might be slow simply because it waits for the
+ initialization of another service to complete.
+ Also note: <command>systemd-analyze blame</command> doesn't display
+ results for services with <varname>Type=simple</varname>,
+ because systemd considers such services to be started immediately,
+ hence no measurement of the initialization delays can be done.</para>
+
+ <para><command>systemd-analyze critical-chain
+ [<replaceable>UNIT…</replaceable>]</command> prints a tree of
+ the time-critical chain of units (for each of the specified
+ <replaceable>UNIT</replaceable>s or for the default target
+ otherwise). The time after the unit is active or started is
+ printed after the "@" character. The time the unit takes to start
+ is printed after the "+" character. Note that the output might be
+ misleading as the initialization of one service might depend on
+ socket activation and because of the parallel execution of
+ units.</para>
+
+ <para><command>systemd-analyze plot</command> prints an SVG
+ graphic detailing which system services have been started at what
+ time, highlighting the time they spent on initialization.</para>
+
+ <para><command>systemd-analyze dot</command> generates textual
+ dependency graph description in dot format for further processing
+ with the GraphViz
+ <citerefentry project='die-net'><refentrytitle>dot</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ tool. Use a command line like <command>systemd-analyze dot | dot
+ -Tsvg > systemd.svg</command> to generate a graphical dependency
+ tree. Unless <option>--order</option> or
+ <option>--require</option> is passed, the generated graph will
+ show both ordering and requirement dependencies. Optional pattern
+ globbing style specifications (e.g. <filename>*.target</filename>)
+ may be given at the end. A unit dependency is included in the
+ graph if any of these patterns match either the origin or
+ destination node.</para>
+
+ <para><command>systemd-analyze dump</command> outputs a (usually
+ very long) human-readable serialization of the complete server
+ state. Its format is subject to change without notice and should
+ not be parsed by applications.</para>
+
+ <para><command>systemd-analyze cat-config</command> is similar
+ to <command>systemctl cat</command>, but operates on config files.
+ It will copy the contents of a config file and any drop-ins to standard
+ output, using the usual systemd set of directories and rules for
+ precedence. Each argument must be either an absolute path including
+ the prefix (such as <filename>/etc/systemd/logind.conf</filename> or
+ <filename>/usr/lib/systemd/logind.conf</filename>), or a name
+ relative to the prefix (such as <filename>systemd/logind.conf</filename>).
+ </para>
+
+ <example>
+ <title>Showing logind configuration</title>
+ <programlisting>$ systemd-analyze cat-config systemd/logind.conf
+# /etc/systemd/logind.conf
+...
+[Login]
+NAutoVTs=8
+...
+
+# /usr/lib/systemd/logind.conf.d/20-test.conf
+... some override from another package
+
+# /etc/systemd/logind.conf.d/50-override.conf
+... some administrator override
+ </programlisting>
+ </example>
+
+ <para><command>systemd-analyze unit-paths</command> outputs a list of all
+ directories from which unit files, <filename>.d</filename> overrides, and
+ <filename>.wants</filename>, <filename>.requires</filename> symlinks may be
+ loaded. Combine with <option>--user</option> to retrieve the list for the user
+ manager instance, and <option>--global</option> for the global configuration of
+ user manager instances. Note that this verb prints the list that is compiled into
+ <command>systemd-analyze</command> itself, and does not comunicate with the
+ running manager. Use
+ <programlisting>systemctl [--user] [--global] show -p UnitPath --value</programlisting>
+ to retrieve the actual list that the manager uses, with any empty directories
+ omitted.</para>
+
+ <para><command>systemd-analyze log-level</command>
+ prints the current log level of the <command>systemd</command> daemon.
+ If an optional argument <replaceable>LEVEL</replaceable> is provided, then the command changes the current log
+ level of the <command>systemd</command> daemon to <replaceable>LEVEL</replaceable> (accepts the same values as
+ <option>--log-level=</option> described in
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>).</para>
+
+ <para><command>systemd-analyze log-target</command>
+ prints the current log target of the <command>systemd</command> daemon.
+ If an optional argument <replaceable>TARGET</replaceable> is provided, then the command changes the current log
+ target of the <command>systemd</command> daemon to <replaceable>TARGET</replaceable> (accepts the same values as
+ <option>--log-target=</option>, described in
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>).</para>
+
+ <para><command>systemd-analyze syscall-filter <optional><replaceable>SET</replaceable>…</optional></command>
+ will list system calls contained in the specified system call set <replaceable>SET</replaceable>,
+ or all known sets if no sets are specified. Argument <replaceable>SET</replaceable> must include
+ the <literal>@</literal> prefix.</para>
+
+ <para><command>systemd-analyze verify</command> will load unit files and print
+ warnings if any errors are detected. Files specified on the command line will be
+ loaded, but also any other units referenced by them. The full unit search path is
+ formed by combining the directories for all command line arguments, and the usual unit
+ load paths (variable <varname>$SYSTEMD_UNIT_PATH</varname> is supported, and may be
+ used to replace or augment the compiled in set of unit load paths; see
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.unit</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>).
+ All units files present in the directories containing the command line arguments will
+ be used in preference to the other paths.</para>
+
+ <para><command>systemd-analyze calendar</command> will parse and normalize repetitive calendar time events, and
+ will calculate when they will elapse next. This takes the same input as the <varname>OnCalendar=</varname> setting
+ in <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.timer</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>, following the
+ syntax described in
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.time</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>
+
+ <para><command>systemd-analyze service-watchdogs</command>
+ prints the current state of service runtime watchdogs of the <command>systemd</command> daemon.
+ If an optional boolean argument is provided, then globally enables or disables the service
+ runtime watchdogs (<option>WatchdogSec=</option>) and emergency actions (e.g.
+ <option>OnFailure=</option> or <option>StartLimitAction=</option>); see
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.service</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
+ The hardware watchdog is not affected by this setting.</para>
+
+ <para><command>systemd-analyze timespan</command> parses a time span and outputs the equivalent value in microseconds, and as a reformatted timespan.
+ The time span should adhere to the same syntax documented in <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.time</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
+ Values without associated magnitudes are parsed as seconds.</para>
+
+ <para><command>systemd-analyze security</command> analyzes the security and sandboxing settings of one or more
+ specified service units. If at least one unit name is specified the security settings of the specified service
+ units are inspected and a detailed analysis is shown. If no unit name is specified, all currently loaded,
+ long-running service units are inspected and a terse table with results shown. The command checks for various
+ security-related service settings, assigning each a numeric "exposure level" value, depending on how important a
+ setting is. It then calculates an overall exposure level for the whole unit, which is an estimation in the range
+ 0.0…10.0 indicating how exposed a service is security-wise. High exposure levels indicate very little applied
+ sandboxing. Low exposure levels indicate tight sandboxing and strongest security restrictions. Note that this only
+ analyzes the per-service security features systemd itself implements. This means that any additional security
+ mechanisms applied by the service code itself are not accounted for. The exposure level determined this way should
+ not be misunderstood: a high exposure level neither means that there is no effective sandboxing applied by the
+ service code itself, nor that the service is actually vulnerable to remote or local attacks. High exposure levels
+ do indicate however that most likely the service might benefit from additional settings applied to them. Please
+ note that many of the security and sandboxing settings individually can be circumvented — unless combined with
+ others. For example, if a service retains the privilege to establish or undo mount points many of the sandboxing
+ options can be undone by the service code itself. Due to that is essential that each service uses the most
+ comprehensive and strict sandboxing and security settings possible. The tool will take into account some of these
+ combinations and relationships between the settings, but not all. Also note that the security and sandboxing
+ settings analyzed here only apply to the operations executed by the service code itself. If a service has access to
+ an IPC system (such as D-Bus) it might request operations from other services that are not subject to the same
+ restrictions. Any comprehensive security and sandboxing analysis is hence incomplete if the IPC access policy is
+ not validated too.</para>
