                <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.</para>

                <para><command>systemd-analyze time</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>

                <para><command>systemd-analyze blame</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.</para>

                <para><command>systemd-analyze critical-chain [<replaceable>UNIT...</replaceable>]</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 one service might depend on socket
                activation and because of the parallel execution
                of units.</para>

                <para><command>systemd-analyze plot</command> prints
                an SVG graphic detailing which system services have
                been started at what time, highlighting the time they
                spent on initialization.</para>

                <para><command>systemd-analyze dot</command> generates
                textual dependency graph description in dot format for
                further processing with the GraphViz
                <citerefentry><refentrytitle>dot</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
                tool. Use a command line like <command>systemd-analyze
                dot | dot -Tsvg > systemd.svg</command> to generate a
                graphical dependency tree. Unless
                <option>--order</option> or <option>--require</option>
                is passed, the generated graph will show both ordering
                and requirement dependencies. Optional pattern
                globbing style specifications
                (e.g. <filename>*.target</filename>) 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.</para>

                <para><command>systemd-analyze dump</command> 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.</para>

                <para><command>systemd-analyze set-log-level
                <replaceable>LEVEL</replaceable></command> changes the
                current log level of the <command>systemd</command>
                daemon to <replaceable>LEVEL</replaceable> (accepts
                the same values as <option>--log-level=</option>
                described in
                <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>).</para>

                <para><command>systemd-analyze verify</command> will
                load unit files and print warnings if any errors are
                detected. Files specified on the command line will be
                loaded, but also any other units referenced by
                them. This command works by prepending the directories
                for all command line arguments at the beginning of the
                unit load path, which means that all units files found
                in those directories will be used in preference to the
                unit files found in the standard locations, even if
                not listed explicitly.</para>

                <para>If no command is passed, <command>systemd-analyze
                time</command> is implied.</para>
