125 <title>Description</title>
126
127 <para><command>systemd-analyze</command> may be used to determine
128 system boot-up performance statistics and retrieve other state and
129 tracing information from the system and service manager, and to
130 verify the correctness of unit files. It is also used to access
131 special functions useful for advanced system manager debugging.</para>
132
133 <para>If no command is passed, <command>systemd-analyze
134 time</command> is implied.</para>

136 <refsect2>
137 <title><command>systemd-analyze time</command></title>
138
139 <para>This command prints the time spent in the kernel before userspace has been reached, the time
140 spent in the initial RAM disk (initrd) before normal system userspace has been reached, and the time
141 normal system userspace took to initialize. Note that these measurements simply measure the time passed
142 up to the point where all system services have been spawned, but not necessarily until they fully
143 finished initialization or the disk is idle.</para>

162 <title><command>systemd-analyze blame</command></title>
163
164 <para>This command prints a list of all running units, ordered by the time they took to initialize.
165 This information may be used to optimize boot-up times. Note that the output might be misleading as the
166 initialization of one service might be slow simply because it waits for the initialization of another
167 service to complete. Also note: <command>systemd-analyze blame</command> doesn't display results for
168 services with <varname>Type=simple</varname>, because systemd considers such services to be started
169 immediately, hence no measurement of the initialization delays can be done.</para>

188
189 <para>This command prints a tree of the time-critical chain of units (for each of the specified
190 <replaceable>UNIT</replaceable>s or for the default target otherwise). The time after the unit is
191 active or started is printed after the "@" character. The time the unit takes to start is printed after
192 the "+" character. Note that the output might be misleading as the initialization of services might
193 depend on socket activation and because of the parallel execution of units.</para>

511
512 <para>This command analyzes the security and sandboxing settings of one or more specified service
513 units. If at least one unit name is specified the security settings of the specified service units are
514 inspected and a detailed analysis is shown. If no unit name is specified, all currently loaded,
515 long-running service units are inspected and a terse table with results shown. The command checks for
516 various security-related service settings, assigning each a numeric "exposure level" value, depending
517 on how important a setting is. It then calculates an overall exposure level for the whole unit, which
518 is an estimation in the range 0.010.0 indicating how exposed a service is security-wise. High exposure
519 levels indicate very little applied sandboxing. Low exposure levels indicate tight sandboxing and
520 strongest security restrictions. Note that this only analyzes the per-service security features systemd
521 itself implements. This means that any additional security mechanisms applied by the service code
522 itself are not accounted for. The exposure level determined this way should not be misunderstood: a
523 high exposure level neither means that there is no effective sandboxing applied by the service code
524 itself, nor that the service is actually vulnerable to remote or local attacks. High exposure levels do
525 indicate however that most likely the service might benefit from additional settings applied to
526 them.</para>
527
528 <para>Please note that many of the security and sandboxing settings individually can be circumvented —
529 unless combined with others. For example, if a service retains the privilege to establish or undo mount
530 points many of the sandboxing options can be undone by the service code itself. Due to that is
531 essential that each service uses the most comprehensive and strict sandboxing and security settings
532 possible. The tool will take into account some of these combinations and relationships between the
533 settings, but not all. Also note that the security and sandboxing settings analyzed here only apply to
534 the operations executed by the service code itself. If a service has access to an IPC system (such as
535 D-Bus) it might request operations from other services that are not subject to the same
536 restrictions. Any comprehensive security and sandboxing analysis is hence incomplete if the IPC access
537 policy is not validated too.</para>
