Systemd is the system and service manager for Linux, and target units are groups of systemd units that are organized for a specific purpose. If this alert is triggered, it means there is an issue with one of your systemd target units. - -### What does failed state mean? - -A systemd target unit in the failed state means that one or more units/tasks of that target, whether it's a service, or any other kind of systemd unit, have encountered an issue and cannot continue running. - -### Troubleshoot the alert - -1. First, you need to identify which systemd target unit is causing the alert. You can list all the failed units by running: - - ``` - systemctl --failed --all - ``` - -2. Once you have identified the problematic target unit, check its status for more information about the issue. Replace `<target_unit>` with the actual target unit name: - - ``` - systemctl status <target_unit> - ``` - -3. Look at the logs of the failed target unit to collect more details on the issue: - - ``` - journalctl -u <target_unit> - ``` - -4. Based on the information gathered in steps 2 and 3, troubleshoot and fix the problem(s) in your target unit. This may involve: - - Editing the unit file - - Checking the services and processes that compose the target - - Looking into configuration files and directories. - -5. Reload the systemctl daemon to apply any changes you made, then restart the target unit: - - ``` - sudo systemctl daemon-reload - sudo systemctl restart <target_unit> - ``` - -6. Verify that the target unit has been successfully restarted: - - ``` - systemctl is-active <target_unit> - ``` - -7. Continue monitoring the target unit to ensure that it remains stable and does not return to a failed state. - -### Useful resources - -1.
