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 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 Generate textual dependency graph description in dot format for further processing with the GraphViz dot1 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. If no command is passed systemd-analyze time is implied. The following options are understood: -h --help Prints a short help text and exits. --user Shows performance data of user sessions instead of the system manager. --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, shows dependencies of all these types. On success 0 is returned, a non-zero failure code otherwise. systemd1, systemctl1
