174 <title>Description
</title>
176 <para><command>systemd-analyze
</command> may be used to determine
177 system boot-up performance statistics and retrieve other state and
178 tracing information from the system and service manager, and to
179 verify the correctness of unit files. It is also used to access
180 special functions useful for advanced system manager debugging.
</para>
182 <para>If no command is passed,
<command>systemd-analyze
183 time
</command> is implied.
</para>
186 <title><command>systemd-analyze time
</command></title>
188 <para>This command prints the time spent in the kernel before userspace has been reached, the time
189 spent in the initrd before normal system userspace has been reached, and the time normal system
190 userspace took to initialize. Note that these measurements simply measure the time passed up to the
191 point where all system services have been spawned, but not necessarily until they fully finished
192 initialization or the disk is idle.

211 <title><command>systemd-analyze blame
</command></title>
213 <para>This command prints a list of all running units, ordered by the time they took to initialize.
214 This information may be used to optimize boot-up times. Note that the output might be misleading as the
215 initialization of one service might be slow simply because it waits for the initialization of another
216 service to complete. Also note:
<command>systemd-analyze blame
</command> doesn't display results for
217 services with
<varname>Type=simple
</varname>, because systemd considers such services to be started
218 immediately, hence no measurement of the initialization delays can be done. Also note that this command
219 only shows the time units took for starting up, it does not show how long unit jobs spent in the
220 execution queue. In particular it shows the time units spent in
<literal>activating
</literal> state,
221 which is not defined for units such as device units that transition directly from
222 <literal>inactive
</literal> to
<literal>active
</literal>. This command hence gives an impression of the
223 performance of program code, but cannot accurately reflect latency introduced by waiting for
224 hardware and similar events.

242 <title><command>systemd-analyze critical-chain
<optional><replaceable>UNIT
</replaceable>...
</optional></command></title>
244 <para>This command prints a tree of the time-critical chain of units (for each of the specified
245 <replaceable>UNIT
</replaceable>s or for the default target otherwise). The time after the unit is
246 active or started is printed after the
"@" character. The time the unit takes to start is printed after
247 the
"+" character. Note that the output might be misleading as the initialization of services might
248 depend on socket activation and because of the parallel execution of units. Also, similarly to the
249 <command>blame
</command> command, this only takes into account the time units spent in
250 <literal>activating
</literal> state, and hence does not cover units that never went through an
251 <literal>activating
</literal> state (such as device units that transition directly from
252 <literal>inactive
</literal> to
<literal>active
</literal>). Moreover it does not show information on
253 jobs (and in particular not jobs that timed out).

279 the complete service manager state. Optional glob pattern may be specified, causing the output to be
280 limited to units whose names match one of the patterns. The output format is subject to change without
281 notice and should not be parsed by applications. This command is rate limited for unprivileged users.

331 that if a unit gets started, then stopped and then started again the information shown will cover the
332 most recent start cycle, not the first one. Thus it's recommended to consult this information only
333 shortly after boot, so that this distinction doesn't matter. Moreover, units that are not referenced by
334 any other unit through a dependency might be unloaded by the service manager once they terminate (and
335 did not fail). Such units will not show up in the plot.

<optional><replaceable>UNIT
</replaceable>...
</optional></command></title>
749 <para>This command analyzes the security and sandboxing settings of one or more specified service
750 units. If at least one unit name is specified the security settings of the specified service units are
751 inspected and a detailed analysis is shown. If no unit name is specified, all currently loaded,
752 long-running service units are inspected and a terse table with results shown. The command checks for
753 various security-related service settings, assigning each a numeric
"exposure level" value, depending
754 on how important a setting is. It then calculates an overall exposure level for the whole unit, which
755 is an estimation in the range
0.0…
10.0 indicating how exposed a service is security-wise. High exposure
756 levels indicate very little applied sandboxing. Low exposure levels indicate tight sandboxing and
757 strongest security restrictions. Note that this only analyzes the per-service security features systemd
758 itself implements. This means that any additional security mechanisms applied by the service code
759 itself are not accounted for. The exposure level determined this way should not be misunderstood: a
760 high exposure level neither means that there is no effective sandboxing applied by the service code
761 itself, nor that the service is actually vulnerable to remote or local attacks. High exposure levels do
762 indicate however that most likely the service might benefit from additional settings applied to
765 <para>Please note that many of the security and sandboxing settings individually can be circumvented —
766 unless combined with others. For example, if a service retains the privilege to establish or undo mount
767 points many of the sandboxing options can be undone by the service code itself. Due to that is
768 essential that each service uses the most comprehensive and strict sandboxing and security settings
769 possible. The tool will take into account some of these combinations and relationships between the
770 settings, but not all. Also note that the security and sandboxing settings analyzed here only apply to
771 the operations executed by the service code itself. If a service has access to an IPC system (such as
772 D-Bus) it might request operations from other services that are not subject to the same
773 restrictions. Any comprehensive security and sandboxing analysis is hence incomplete if the IPC access
774 policy is not validated too.

1312 containing the following fields:

1313 been enabled or not,
<varname>name
</varname> which is what is used to refer to the setting,

0.0…
10.0, where a higher value
1317 corresponds to a higher security threat. The JSON version of the table is printed to standard

1319 <option>off
</option> which is the default,
<option>pretty

1320 which respectively output a prettified or shorted JSON version of the security table.

1324 which is the unit name,
<varname>activated

1326 was initially started,
<varname>time
</varname> which is how long the service took to activate
1327 from when it was initially started,

</varname> which is the time after startup
1328 that the service was deactivated,

1409 <title>JSON Policy
</title>
1411 <para>The JSON file passed as a path parameter to
<option>--security-policy=
</option> has a top-level
1412 JSON object, with keys being the assessment test identifiers mentioned above. The values in the file
1413 should be JSON objects with one or more of the following fields:
<option>description_na
</option>
1414 (string),
<option>description_good
</option> (string),
<option>description_bad
</option> (string),
1415 <option>weight
</option> (unsigned integer), and
<option>range
</option> (unsigned integer). If any of
1416 these fields corresponding to a specific id of the unit file is missing from the JSON object, the
1417 default built-in field value corresponding to that same id is used for security analysis as default.
1418 The weight and range fields are used in determining the overall exposure level of the unit files: the
1419 value of each setting is assigned a badness score, which is multiplied by the policy weight and divided
1420 by the policy range to determine the overall exposure that the setting implies. The computed badness is
1421 summed across all settings in the unit file, normalized to the
1…
100 range, and used to determine the
1422 overall exposure level of the unit. By allowing users to manipulate these fields, the 'security' verb
1423 gives them the option to decide for themself which ids are more important and hence should have a
1424 greater effect on the exposure level. A weight of
<literal>0</literal> means the setting will not be
