+ <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 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>
+ </refsect2>
+
+ <refsect2>
+ <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
+ 13.299s dev-vda1.device
+ ...
+ 23ms sysroot.mount
+ 11ms initrd-udevadm-cleanup-db.service
+ 3ms sys-kernel-config.mount
+ </programlisting>
+ </example>
+ </refsect2>
+
+ <refsect2>
+ <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, similarly 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>
+
+ <programlisting>$ systemd-analyze critical-chain

+ <title><command>systemd-analyze dump [<replaceable>pattern</replaceable>…]</command></title>
+
+ <para>Without any parameter, this command outputs a (usually very long) human-readable serialization of
+ the complete service manager state. Optional glob pattern may be specified, causing the output to be
+ limited to units whose names match one of the patterns. The output format is subject to change without
+ notice and should not be parsed by applications. This command is rate limited for unprivileged users.</para>

+
+ <para>This command can be used to request the output of the internal memory state (as returned by
+ <citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>malloc_info</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>)
+ of a D-Bus service. If no service is specified, the query will be sent to
+ <filename>org.freedesktop.systemd1</filename> (the system or user service manager). The output format
+ is not guaranteed to be stable and should not be parsed by applications.</para>
+
+ <para>The service must implement the <filename>org.freedesktop.MemoryAllocation1</filename> interface.
+ In the systemd suite, it is currently only implemented by the manager.</para>

+ <title><command>systemd-analyze plot</command></title>
+
+ <para>This command prints either an SVG graphic, detailing which system services have been started at what
+ time, highlighting the time they spent on initialization, or the raw time data in JSON or table format.</para>
+
+ <example>
+ <title><command>Plot a bootchart</command></title>
+
+ <programlisting>$ systemd-analyze plot >bootup.svg
+$ eog bootup.svg&amp;
+</programlisting>
+ </example>
+
+ <para>Note that this plot is based on the most recent per-unit timing data of loaded units. This means
+ that if a unit gets started, then stopped and then started again the information shown will cover the
+ most recent start cycle, not the first one. Thus it's recommended to consult this information only
+ shortly after boot, so that this distinction doesn't matter. Moreover, units that are not referenced by
+ any other unit through a dependency might be unloaded by the service manager once they terminate (and
+ did not fail). Such units will not show up in the plot.</para>
+ </refsect2>
+
+ <refsect2>
+ <title><command>systemd-analyze dot [<replaceable>pattern</replaceable>...]</command></title>
+
+ <para>This 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>
+
+ <example>
+ <title>Plot all dependencies of any unit whose name starts with <literal>avahi-daemon</literal>
+ </title>
+
+ <programlisting>$ systemd-analyze dot 'avahi-daemon.*' | dot -Tsvg >avahi.svg

+ <title><command>systemd-analyze unit-paths</command></title>
+
+ <para>This 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.</para>
+
+ <example>
+ <title><command>Show all paths for generated units</command></title>
+
+ <programlisting>$ systemd-analyze unit-paths | grep '^/run'

+
+ <para>Note that this verb prints the list that is compiled into <command>systemd-analyze</command>

+ <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>

+ <title>JSON Policy</title>
+
+ <para>The JSON file passed as a path parameter to <option>--security-policy=</option> has a top-level
+ JSON object, with keys being the assessment test identifiers mentioned above. The values in the file
+ should be JSON objects with one or more of the following fields: <option>description_na</option>
+ (string), <option>description_good</option> (string), <option>description_bad</option> (string),
+ <option>weight</option> (unsigned integer), and <option>range</option> (unsigned integer). If any of
+ these fields corresponding to a specific id of the unit file is missing from the JSON object, the
+ default built-in field value corresponding to that same id is used for security analysis as default.
+ The weight and range fields are used in determining the overall exposure level of the unit files: the
+ value of each setting is assigned a badness score, which is multiplied by the policy weight and divided
+ by the policy range to determine the overall exposure that the setting implies. The computed badness is
+ summed across all settings in the unit file, normalized to the 1…100 range, and used to determine the
+ overall exposure level of the unit. By allowing users to manipulate these fields, the 'security' verb
+ gives them the option to decide for themself which ids are more important and hence should have a
+ greater effect on the exposure level. A weight of <literal>0</literal> means the setting will not be
+ checked.</para>
