| <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> |

| <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 |

| <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 time</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> |
