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 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> Generate 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>If no command is passed <command>systemd-analyze time</command> is implied.</para> </refsect1> <refsect1> <title>Options</title> <para>The following options are understood:</para> <variablelist> <varlistentry> <term><option>-h</option></term> <term><option>--help</option></term> <listitem><para>Prints a short help text and exits.</para></listitem> </varlistentry> <varlistentry> <term><option>--user</option></term> <listitem><para>Shows performance data of user sessions instead of the system manager.</para></listitem> </varlistentry> <varlistentry> <term><option>--order</option></term> <term><option>--require</option></term> <listitem><para>When used in conjunction with the <command>dot</command> command (see above), selects which dependencies are shown in the dependency graph.
