systemd-analyze [OPTIONS...] blame
systemd-analyze [OPTIONS...] critical-chain [UNIT...]

systemd-analyze [OPTIONS...] dot [PATTERN...] [> file.dot]
systemd-analyze [OPTIONS...] dump
systemd-analyze [OPTIONS...] set-log-level [LEVEL]
DESCRIPTION
systemd-analyze may be used to determine system boot-up performance
statistics and retrieve other state and tracing information from the
system and service manager.
systemd-analyze time 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.
systemd-analyze blame 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.
systemd-analyze critical-chain [UNIT...] prints a tree of the
time-critical chain of units (for each of the specified UNITs 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.
systemd-analyze plot prints an SVG graphic detailing which system
services have been started at what time, highlighting the time they
spent on initialization.
systemd-analyze dot generates textual dependency graph description in
dot format for further processing with the GraphViz dot(1) tool. Use a
command line like systemd-analyze dot | dot -Tsvg > systemd.svg to
generate a graphical dependency tree. Unless --order or --require is
passed, the generated graph will show both ordering and requirement
dependencies. Optional pattern globbing style specifications (e.g.
*.target) 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.
systemd-analyze dump 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.
systemd-analyze set-log-level LEVEL changes the current log level of
the systemd daemon to LEVEL (accepts the same values as --log-level=
described in systemd(1)).
If no command is passed, systemd-analyze time is implied.
OPTIONS
The following options are understood:
--user
Shows performance data of user sessions instead of the system
manager.
--system
Shows performance data of the system manager. This is the implied
default.
--order, --require
When used in conjunction with the dot command (see above), selects
which dependencies are shown in the dependency graph. If --order is
passed, only dependencies of type After= or Before= are shown. If
--require is passed, only dependencies of type Requires=,
RequiresOverridable=, Requisite=, RequisiteOverridable=, Wants= and
Conflicts= are shown. If neither is passed, this shows dependencies
of all these types.
--from-pattern=, --to-pattern=
When used in conjunction with the dot command (see above), this
selects which relationships are shown in the dependency graph. They
both require glob(7) patterns as arguments, which are matched
against left-hand and right-hand, respectively, nodes of a
relationship. Each of these can be used more than once, which means
a unit name must match one of the given values.
--fuzz=timespan
When used in conjunction with the critical-chain command (see
above), also show units, which finished timespan earlier, than the
latest unit in the same level. The unit of timespan is seconds
unless specified with a different unit, e.g. "50ms".
-H, --host=
Execute the operation remotely. Specify a hostname, or username and
hostname separated by "@", to connect to. This will use SSH to talk
to the remote machine manager instance.
-M, --machine=
Execute operation on a local container. Specify a container name to
connect to.
-h, --help
Print a short help text and exit.
--version
Print a short version string and exit.
--no-pager
Do not pipe output into a pager.
EXIT STATUS
On success, 0 is returned, a non-zero failure code otherwise.
EXAMPLES
This plots all dependencies of any unit whose name starts with
"avahi-daemon.":
$ systemd-analyze dot 'avahi-daemon.*' | dot -Tsvg > avahi.svg
$ eog avahi.svg
This plots the dependencies between all known target units:
systemd-analyze dot --to-pattern='*.target' --from-pattern='*.target' | dot -Tsvg > targets.svg
$ eog targets.svg
ENVIRONMENT
$SYSTEMD_PAGER
Pager to use when --no-pager is not given; overrides $PAGER.
Setting this to an empty string or the value "cat" is equivalent to
passing --no-pager.
$SYSTEMD_LESS
Override the default options passed to less ("FRSXMK").
