+ <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>If no command is passed, <command>systemd-analyze
+ time</command> is implied.</para>
+
+ <refsect2>
+ <title><command>systemd-analyze time</command></title>
+
+ <para>This 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>
+
+ <example>
+ <title><command>Show how long the boot took</command></title>
+
+ <programlisting># in a container
+$ systemd-analyze time
+Startup finished in 296ms (userspace)
+multi-user.target reached after 275ms in userspace
+
+# on a real machine
+$ systemd-analyze time
+Startup finished in 2.584s (kernel) + 19.176s (initrd) + 47.847s (userspace) = 1min 9.608s
+multi-user.target reached after 47.820s in userspace
+</programlisting>
+ </example>

+ <title><command>systemd-analyze blame</command></title>
+
+ <para>This 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. Also note that this command
+ only shows the time units took for starting up, it does not show how long unit jobs spent in the
+ execution queue. In particular it shows the time units spent in <literal>activating</literal> state,
+ which is not defined for units such as device units that transition directly from
+ <literal>inactive</literal> to <literal>active</literal>. This command hence gives an impression of the
+ performance of program code, but cannot accurately reflect latency introduced by waiting for
+ hardware and similar events.</para>
+
+ <example>
+ <title><command>Show which units took the most time during boot</command></title>
+
+ <programlisting>$ systemd-analyze blame
+ 32.875s pmlogger.service
+ 20.905s systemd-networkd-wait-online.service

+ <title><command>systemd-analyze critical-chain <optional><replaceable>UNIT</replaceable>...</optional></command></title>
+
+ <para>This 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 services might
+ depend on socket activation and because of the parallel execution of units. Also, similar to the
+ <command>blame</command> command, this only takes into account the time units spent in
+ <literal>activating</literal> state, and hence does not cover units that never went through an
+ <literal>activating</literal> state (such as device units that transition directly from
+ <literal>inactive</literal> to <literal>active</literal>). Moreover it does not show information on
+ jobs (and in particular not jobs that timed out).</para>
+
+ <example>
+ <title><command>systemd-analyze critical-chain</command></title>

+ <title><command>systemd-analyze security <optional><replaceable>UNIT</replaceable>...</optional></command></title>
+
+ <para>This 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.</para>
+
+ <para>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>
