systemd-analyze 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. It is also used to access special
functions useful for advanced system manager debugging.
If no command is passed, systemd-analyze time is implied.
systemd-analyze time
This command prints the time spent in the kernel before userspace
has been reached, the time spent in the 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.
Example 1. Show how long the boot took
# in a container
$ systemd-analyze time
Startup finished in 296ms (userspace)
multi-user.target reached after 275ms in userspace
# on a real machine
$ systemd-analyze time
Startup finished in 2.584s (kernel) + 19.176s (initrd) + 47.847s (userspace) = 1min 9.608s
multi-user.target reached after 47.820s in userspace
systemd-analyze blame
This 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.
Also note: systemd-analyze blame does not display results for
services with Type=simple, because systemd considers such services
to be started immediately, hence no measurement of the
initialization delays can be done. Also note that this command
only shows the time units took for starting up, it does not show
how long unit jobs spent in the execution queue. In particular it
shows the time units spent in "activating" state, which is not
defined for units such as device units that transition directly
from "inactive" to "active". This command hence gives an
impression of the performance of program code, but cannot
accurately reflect latency introduced by waiting for hardware and
similar events.
Example 2. Show which units took the most time during boot
$ systemd-analyze blame
32.875s pmlogger.service
20.905s systemd-networkd-wait-online.service
13.299s dev-vda1.device
...
23ms sysroot.mount
11ms initrd-udevadm-cleanup-db.service
3ms sys-kernel-config.mount
systemd-analyze critical-chain [UNIT...]
This command prints a tree of the time-critical chain of units
(for each of the specified UNITs 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 services might depend on
socket activation and because of the parallel execution of units.
Also, similarly to the blame command, this only takes into account
the time units spent in "activating" state, and hence does not
cover units that never went through an "activating" state (such as
device units that transition directly from "inactive" to
"active"). Moreover, it does not show information on jobs (and in
particular not jobs that timed out).
Example 3. systemd-analyze critical-chain
$ systemd-analyze critical-chain
multi-user.target @47.820s
└─pmie.service @35.968s +548ms
└─pmcd.service @33.715s +2.247s
└─network-online.target @33.712s
└─systemd-networkd-wait-online.service @12.804s +20.905s

└─systemd-udevd.service @9.201s +1.904s
└─systemd-tmpfiles-setup-dev.service @7.306s +1.776s
└─kmod-static-nodes.service @6.976s +177ms
└─systemd-journald.socket
└─system.slice
└─-.slice
systemd-analyze dump [pattern...]
Without any parameter, this command outputs a (usually very long)
human-readable serialization of the complete service manager
state. Optional glob pattern may be specified, causing the output
to be limited to units whose names match one of the patterns. The
output format is subject to change without notice and should not
be parsed by applications. This command is rate limited for
unprivileged users.
Example 4. Show the internal state of user manager
$ systemd-analyze --user dump
Timestamp userspace: Thu 2019-03-14 23:28:07 CET
Timestamp finish: Thu 2019-03-14 23:28:07 CET
Timestamp generators-start: Thu 2019-03-14 23:28:07 CET
Timestamp generators-finish: Thu 2019-03-14 23:28:07 CET
Timestamp units-load-start: Thu 2019-03-14 23:28:07 CET
Timestamp units-load-finish: Thu 2019-03-14 23:28:07 CET
-> Unit proc-timer_list.mount:
Description: /proc/timer_list
...
-> Unit default.target:
Description: Main user target
...
systemd-analyze malloc [D-Bus service...]
This command can be used to request the output of the internal
memory state (as returned by malloc_info(3)) of a D-Bus service.
If no service is specified, the query will be sent to
org.freedesktop.systemd1 (the system or user service manager). The
output format is not guaranteed to be stable and should not be
parsed by applications.
The service must implement the org.freedesktop.MemoryAllocation1
interface. In the systemd suite, it is currently only implemented
by the manager.
systemd-analyze plot
This command prints either an SVG graphic, detailing which system
services have been started at what time, highlighting the time
they spent on initialization, or the raw time data in JSON or
table format.
Example 5. Plot a bootchart
$ systemd-analyze plot >bootup.svg
$ eog bootup.svg&
Note that this plot is based on the most recent per-unit timing
data of loaded units. This means that if a unit gets started, then
stopped and then started again the information shown will cover
the most recent start cycle, not the first one. Thus it is
recommended to consult this information only shortly after boot,
so that this distinction does not matter. Moreover, units that are
not referenced by any other unit through a dependency might be
unloaded by the service manager once they terminate (and did not
fail). Such units will not show up in the plot.
systemd-analyze dot [pattern...]
This command generates textual dependency graph description in dot
format for further processing with the GraphViz dot(1) 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. Optional pattern globbing style
specifications (e.g. *.target) 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.
Example 6. Plot all dependencies of any unit whose name starts
with "avahi-daemon"
$ systemd-analyze dot 'avahi-daemon.*' | dot -Tsvg >avahi.svg
$ eog avahi.svg
Example 7. Plot the dependencies between all known target units
$ systemd-analyze dot --to-pattern='*.target' --from-pattern='*.target' \
| dot -Tsvg >targets.svg
$ eog targets.svg
systemd-analyze unit-paths
This command outputs a list of all directories from which unit
files, .d overrides, and .wants, .requires symlinks may be loaded.
Combine with --user to retrieve the list for the user manager
instance, and --global for the global configuration of user
manager instances.
Example 8. Show all paths for generated units
$ systemd-analyze unit-paths | grep '^/run'
/run/systemd/system.control
/run/systemd/transient
/run/systemd/generator.early
/run/systemd/system
/run/systemd/system.attached
/run/systemd/generator
/run/systemd/generator.late
Note that this verb prints the list that is compiled into
systemd-analyze itself, and does not communicate with the running
manager. Use
systemctl [--user] [--global] show -p UnitPath --value
to retrieve the actual list that the manager uses, with any empty
directories omitted.
systemd-analyze exit-status [STATUS...]
This command prints a list of exit statuses along with their
"class", i.e. the source of the definition (one of "glibc",
"systemd", "LSB", or "BSD"), see the Process Exit Codes section in
systemd.exec(5). If no additional arguments are specified, all
known statuses are shown. Otherwise, only the definitions for the
specified codes are shown.
Example 9. Show some example exit status names
$ systemd-analyze exit-status 0 1 {63..65}
NAME STATUS CLASS
SUCCESS 0 glibc
FAILURE 1 glibc
- 63 -
USAGE 64 BSD
DATAERR 65 BSD
systemd-analyze capability [CAPABILITY... | {-m | --mask} MASK]
This command prints a list of Linux capabilities along with their
numeric IDs. See capabilities(7) for details. If no argument is
specified the full list of capabilities known to the service
manager and the kernel is shown. Capabilities defined by the
kernel but not known to the service manager are shown as
"cap_???". Optionally, if arguments are specified they may refer
to specific cabilities by name or numeric ID, in which case only
the indicated capabilities are shown in the table.
Alternatively, if --mask is passed, a single numeric argument must
be specified, which is interpreted as a hexadecimal capability
mask. In this case, only the capabilities present in the mask are
shown in the table. This mode is intended to aid in decoding
capability sets available via various debugging interfaces (e.g.
"/proc/PID/status").
Example 10. Show some example capability names
$ systemd-analyze capability 0 1 {30..32}
NAME NUMBER
cap_chown 0
cap_dac_override 1
cap_audit_control 30
cap_setfcap 31
cap_mac_override 32
Example 11. Decode a capability mask extracted from /proc
$ systemd-analyze capability -m 0000000000003c00
NAME NUMBER
cap_net_bind_service 10
cap_net_broadcast 11
cap_net_admin 12
cap_net_raw 13
systemd-analyze condition CONDITION...
This command will evaluate Condition*=... and Assert*=...
assignments, and print their values, and the resulting value of
the combined condition set. See systemd.unit(5) for a list of
available conditions and asserts.
Example 12. Evaluate conditions that check kernel versions
$ systemd-analyze condition 'ConditionKernelVersion = ! <4.0' \
'ConditionKernelVersion = >=5.1' \
'ConditionACPower=|false' \
'ConditionArchitecture=|!arm' \
'AssertPathExists=/etc/os-release'
test.service: AssertPathExists=/etc/os-release succeeded.
Asserts succeeded.
test.service: ConditionArchitecture=|!arm succeeded.
test.service: ConditionACPower=|false failed.
test.service: ConditionKernelVersion=>=5.1 succeeded.
test.service: ConditionKernelVersion=!<4.0 succeeded.
Conditions succeeded.
systemd-analyze syscall-filter [SET...]
This command will list system calls contained in the specified
system call set SET, or all known sets if no sets are specified.
Argument SET must include the "@" prefix.
systemd-analyze filesystems [SET...]
This command will list filesystems in the specified filesystem set
SET, or all known sets if no sets are specified. Argument SET must
include the "@" prefix.
systemd-analyze calendar EXPRESSION...
This command will parse and normalize repetitive calendar time
events, and will calculate when they elapse next. This takes the
same input as the OnCalendar= setting in systemd.timer(5),
following the syntax described in systemd.time(7). By default,
only the next time the calendar expression will elapse is shown;
use --iterations= to show the specified number of next times the
expression elapses. Each time the expression elapses forms a
timestamp, see the timestamp verb below.
Example 13. Show leap days in the near future
$ systemd-analyze calendar --iterations=5 '*-2-29 0:0:0'
Original form: *-2-29 0:0:0
Normalized form: *-02-29 00:00:00
Next elapse: Sat 2020-02-29 00:00:00 UTC
From now: 11 months 15 days left
Iter. #2: Thu 2024-02-29 00:00:00 UTC
From now: 4 years 11 months left
Iter. #3: Tue 2028-02-29 00:00:00 UTC
From now: 8 years 11 months left
Iter. #4: Sun 2032-02-29 00:00:00 UTC
From now: 12 years 11 months left
Iter. #5: Fri 2036-02-29 00:00:00 UTC
From now: 16 years 11 months left
systemd-analyze timestamp TIMESTAMP...
This command parses a timestamp (i.e. a single point in time) and
outputs the normalized form and the difference between this
timestamp and now. The timestamp should adhere to the syntax
documented in systemd.time(7), section "PARSING TIMESTAMPS".
Example 14. Show parsing of timestamps
$ systemd-analyze timestamp yesterday now tomorrow
Original form: yesterday
Normalized form: Mon 2019-05-20 00:00:00 CEST
(in UTC): Sun 2019-05-19 22:00:00 UTC
UNIX seconds: @15583032000
From now: 1 day 9h ago
Original form: now
Normalized form: Tue 2019-05-21 09:48:39 CEST
(in UTC): Tue 2019-05-21 07:48:39 UTC
UNIX seconds: @1558424919.659757
From now: 43us ago
Original form: tomorrow
Normalized form: Wed 2019-05-22 00:00:00 CEST
(in UTC): Tue 2019-05-21 22:00:00 UTC
UNIX seconds: @15584760000
From now: 14h left
systemd-analyze timespan EXPRESSION...
This command parses a time span (i.e. a difference between two
timestamps) and outputs the normalized form and the equivalent
value in microseconds. The time span should adhere to the syntax
documented in systemd.time(7), section "PARSING TIME SPANS".
Values without units are parsed as seconds.
Example 15. Show parsing of timespans
$ systemd-analyze timespan 1s 300s '1year 0.000001s'
Original: 1s
μs: 1000000
Human: 1s
Original: 300s
μs: 300000000
Human: 5min
Original: 1year 0.000001s
μs: 31557600000001
Human: 1y 1us
systemd-analyze cat-config NAME|PATH...
This command is similar to systemctl cat, but operates on config
files. It will copy the contents of a config file and any drop-ins
to standard output, using the usual systemd set of directories and
rules for precedence. Each argument must be either an absolute
path including the prefix (such as /etc/systemd/logind.conf or
/usr/lib/systemd/logind.conf), or a name relative to the prefix
(such as systemd/logind.conf).
Example 16. Showing logind configuration
$ systemd-analyze cat-config systemd/logind.conf
# /etc/systemd/logind.conf
...
[Login]
NAutoVTs=8
...
# /usr/lib/systemd/logind.conf.d/20-test.conf
... some override from another package
# /etc/systemd/logind.conf.d/50-override.conf
... some administrator override
systemd-analyze compare-versions VERSION1 [OP] VERSION2
This command has two distinct modes of operation, depending on
whether the operator OP is specified.
In the first mode — when OP is not specified —, it will compare
the two version strings and print either "VERSION1 < VERSION2", or
"VERSION1 == VERSION2", or "VERSION1 > VERSION2" as appropriate.
The exit status is 0 if the versions are equal, 11 if the version
of the right is smaller, and 12 if the version of the left is
smaller. (This matches the convention used by rpmdev-vercmp.)
In the second mode — when OP is specified — it will compare the
two version strings using the operation OP and return 0 (success)
if they condition is satisfied, and 1 (failure) otherwise. OP may
be lt, le, eq, ne, ge, gt. In this mode, no output is printed.
(This matches the convention used by dpkg(1) --compare-versions.)
Example 17. Compare versions of a package
$ systemd-analyze compare-versions systemd-250~rc1.fc36.aarch64 systemd-251.fc36.aarch64
systemd-250~rc1.fc36.aarch64 < systemd-251.fc36.aarch64
$ echo $?
12
$ systemd-analyze compare-versions 1 lt 2; echo $?
0
$ systemd-analyze compare-versions 1 ge 2; echo $?
1
systemd-analyze verify FILE...
This 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. A unit's name on disk
can be overridden by specifying an alias after a colon; see below
for an example. The full unit search path is formed by combining
the directories for all command line arguments, and the usual unit
load paths. The variable $SYSTEMD_UNIT_PATH is supported, and may
be used to replace or augment the compiled in set of unit load
paths; see systemd.unit(5). All units files present in the
directories containing the command line arguments will be used in
preference to the other paths. If a template unit without an
instance name is specified (e.g. foo@.service), "test_instance"
will be used as the instance name, which can be controlled by
--instance= option.
The following errors are currently detected:
• unknown sections and directives,
• missing dependencies which are required to start the given
unit,
• man pages listed in Documentation= which are not found in the
system,
• commands listed in ExecStart= and similar which are not found
in the system or not executable.
Example 18. Misspelt directives
$ cat ./user.slice

$ systemd-analyze verify /tmp/source:alias.service
alias.service:7: Unknown key name 'MysteryKey' in section 'Service', ignoring.
systemd-analyze security [UNIT...]
This command analyzes the security and sandboxing settings of one
or more specified service units. If at least one unit name is
specified the security settings of the specified service units are
inspected and a detailed analysis is shown. If no unit name is
specified, all currently loaded, long-running service units are
inspected and a terse table with results shown. The command checks
for various security-related service settings, assigning each a
numeric "exposure level" value, depending on how important a
setting is. It then calculates an overall exposure level for the
whole unit, which is an estimation in the range 0.0...10.0
indicating how exposed a service is security-wise. High exposure
levels indicate very little applied sandboxing. Low exposure
levels indicate tight sandboxing and strongest security
restrictions. Note that this only analyzes the per-service
security features systemd itself implements. This means that any
additional security mechanisms applied by the service code itself
are not accounted for. The exposure level determined this way
should not be misunderstood: a high exposure level neither means
that there is no effective sandboxing applied by the service code
itself, nor that the service is actually vulnerable to remote or
local attacks. High exposure levels do indicate however that most
likely the service might benefit from additional settings applied
to them.
Please note that many of the security and sandboxing settings
individually can be circumvented — unless combined with others.
For example, if a service retains the privilege to establish or
undo mount points many of the sandboxing options can be undone by
the service code itself. Due to that is essential that each
service uses the most comprehensive and strict sandboxing and
security settings possible. The tool will take into account some
of these combinations and relationships between the settings, but
not all. Also note that the security and sandboxing settings
analyzed here only apply to the operations executed by the service
code itself. If a service has access to an IPC system (such as
D-Bus) it might request operations from other services that are
not subject to the same restrictions. Any comprehensive security
and sandboxing analysis is hence incomplete if the IPC access
policy is not validated too.
Example 21. Analyze systemd-logind.service
$ systemd-analyze security --no-pager systemd-logind.service
NAME DESCRIPTION EXPOSURE
✗ PrivateNetwork= Service has access to the host's network 0.5
✗ User=/DynamicUser= Service runs as root user 0.4
✗ DeviceAllow= Service has no device ACL 0.2
✓ IPAddressDeny= Service blocks all IP address ranges
...
→ Overall exposure level for systemd-logind.service: 4.1 OK 🙂
systemd-analyze inspect-elf FILE...
This command will load the specified files, and if they are ELF
objects (executables, libraries, core files, etc.) it will parse
the embedded packaging metadata, if any, and print it in a table
or json format. See the Package Metadata for Executable Files[1]
document for more information.
Example 22. Print information about a core file as JSON
$ systemd-analyze inspect-elf --json=pretty \
core.fsverity.1000.f77dac5dc161402aa44e15b7dd9dcf97.58561.1637106137000000
{
"elfType" : "coredump",
"elfArchitecture" : "AMD x86-64",
"/home/bluca/git/fsverity-utils/fsverity" : {
"type" : "deb",

"version" : "1.3-1",
"buildId" : "b5e428254abf14237b0ae70ed85fffbb98a78f88"
}
}
systemd-analyze fdstore UNIT...
Lists the current contents of the specified service unit's file
descriptor store. This shows names, inode types, device numbers,
inode numbers, paths and open modes of the open file descriptors.
The specified units must have FileDescriptorStoreMax= enabled, see
systemd.service(5) for details.
Example 23. Table output
$ systemd-analyze fdstore systemd-journald.service
FDNAME TYPE DEVNO INODE RDEVNO PATH FLAGS
stored sock 0:8 4218620 - socket:[4218620] ro
stored sock 0:8 4213198 - socket:[4213198] ro
stored sock 0:8 4213190 - socket:[4213190] ro
...
Note: the "DEVNO" column refers to the major/minor numbers of the
device node backing the file system the file descriptor's inode is
on. The "RDEVNO" column refers to the major/minor numbers of the
device node itself if the file descriptor refers to one. Compare
with corresponding .st_dev and .st_rdev fields in struct stat (see
stat(2) for details). The listed inode numbers in the "INODE"
column are on the file system indicated by "DEVNO".
systemd-analyze image-policy POLICY...
This command analyzes the specified image policy string, as per
systemd.image-policy(7). The policy is normalized and simplified.
For each currently defined partition identifier (as per the
Discoverable Partitions Specification[2]) the effect of the image
policy string is shown in tabular form.
Example 24. Example Output
$ systemd-analyze image-policy swap=encrypted:usr=read-only-on+verity:root=encrypted
Analyzing policy: root=encrypted:usr=verity+read-only-on:swap=encrypted

systemd-analyze has-tpm2
Reports whether the system is equipped with a usable TPM2 device.
If a TPM2 device has been discovered, is supported, and is being
used by firmware, by the OS kernel drivers and by userspace (i.e.
systemd) this prints "yes" and exits with exit status zero. If no
such device is discovered/supported/used, prints "no". Otherwise,
prints "partial". In either of these two cases exits with non-zero
exit status. It also shows five lines indicating separately
whether firmware, drivers, the system, the kernel and libraries
discovered/support/use TPM2. Currently, required libraries are
libtss2-esys.so.0, libtss2-rc.so.0, and libtss2-mu.so.0. The
requirement may be changed in the future release.
Note, this checks for TPM 2.0 devices only, and does not consider
TPM 1.2 at all.
Combine with --quiet to suppress the output.
Example 25. Example Output

+driver
+system
+subsystem

systemd-analyze pcrs [PCR...]
This command shows the known TPM2 PCRs along with their

systemd-analyze srk [>FILE]
This command reads the Storage Root Key (SRK) from the TPM2
device, and writes it in marshalled TPM2B_PUBLIC format to stdout.
The output is non-printable data, so it should be redirected to a
file or into a pipe.
Example 27. Save the Storage Root Key to srk.tpm2b_public
systemd-analyze srk >srk.tpm2b_public
systemd-analyze architectures [NAME...]
Lists all known CPU architectures, and which ones are native. The
listed architecture names are those ConditionArchitecture=
supports, see systemd.unit(5) for details. If architecture names
are specified only those specified are listed.

Added in version 258.
The following options are understood:
--system
Operates on the system systemd instance. This is the implied
default.
Added in version 209.
--user
Operates on the user systemd instance.
Added in version 186.
--global
Operates on the system-wide configuration for user systemd
instance.
Added in version 238.
--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=, Requisite=, BindsTo=, Wants=, and
Conflicts= are shown. If neither is passed, this shows
dependencies of all these types.
Added in version 198.
--from-pattern=, --to-pattern=
When used in conjunction with the dot command (see above),
this selects which relationships are shown in the dependency
graph. Both options require a glob(7) pattern as an argument,
which will be matched against the left-hand and the
right-hand, respectively, nodes of a relationship.
Each of these can be used more than once, in which case the
unit name must match one of the values. When tests for both
sides of the relation are present, a relation must pass both
tests to be shown. When patterns are also specified as
positional arguments, they must match at least one side of the
relation. In other words, patterns specified with those two
options will trim the list of edges matched by the positional
arguments, if any are given, and fully determine the list of
edges shown otherwise.
Added in version 201.
--fuzz=timespan
When used in conjunction with the critical-chain command (see
above), also show units, which finished timespan earlier, than
the latest unit in the same level. The unit of timespan is
seconds unless specified with a different unit, e.g. "50ms".
Added in version 203.
--man=no
Do not invoke man(1) to verify the existence of man pages
listed in Documentation=.
Added in version 235.
--generators
Invoke unit generators, see systemd.generator(7). Some
generators require root privileges. Under a normal user,
running with generators enabled will generally result in some
warnings.
Added in version 235.
--instance=NAME
Specifies fallback instance name for template units. This will
be used when one or more template units without an instance
name (e.g. foo@.service) specified for systemd-analyze
condition with --unit=, systemd-analyze security, and
systemd-analyze verify. If unspecified, "test_instance" will
be used.
Added in version 257.
--recursive-errors=MODE
Control verification of units and their dependencies and
whether systemd-analyze verify exits with a non-zero process
exit status or not. With yes, return a non-zero process exit
status when warnings arise during verification of either the
specified unit or any of its associated dependencies. With no,
return a non-zero process exit status when warnings arise
during verification of only the specified unit. With one,
return a non-zero process exit status when warnings arise
during verification of either the specified unit or its
immediate dependencies. If this option is not specified, zero
is returned as the exit status regardless whether warnings
arise during verification or not.
Added in version 250.
--root=PATH
With cat-config, verify, condition and security when used with
--offline=, operate on files underneath the specified root
path PATH.
Added in version 239.
--image=PATH
With cat-config, verify, condition and security when used with
--offline=, operate on files inside the specified image path
PATH.
Added in version 250.
--image-policy=policy
Takes an image policy string as argument, as per
systemd.image-policy(7). The policy is enforced when operating
on the disk image specified via --image=, see above. If not
specified, defaults to the "*" policy, i.e. all recognized
file systems in the image are used.
--offline=BOOL
With security, perform an offline security review of the
specified unit files, i.e. does not have to rely on PID 1 to
acquire security information for the files like the security
verb when used by itself does. This means that --offline= can
be used with --root= and --image= as well. If a unit's overall
exposure level is above that set by --threshold= (default
value is 100), --offline= will return an error.
Added in version 250.
--profile=PATH
With security --offline=, takes into consideration the
specified portable profile when assessing unit settings. The
profile can be passed by name, in which case the well-known
system locations will be searched, or it can be the full path
to a specific drop-in file.
Added in version 250.
--threshold=NUMBER
With security, allow the user to set a custom value to compare
the overall exposure level with, for the specified unit files.
If a unit's overall exposure level, is greater than that set
by the user, security will return an error. --threshold= can
be used with --offline= as well and its default value is 100.
Added in version 250.
--security-policy=PATH
With security, allow the user to define a custom set of
requirements formatted as a JSON file against which to compare
the specified unit file(s) and determine their overall
exposure level to security threats.

See example "JSON Policy" below.
Added in version 250.
--json=MODE
With the security command, generate a JSON formatted output of
the security analysis table. The format is a JSON array with
objects containing the following fields: set which indicates
if the setting has been enabled or not, name which is what is
used to refer to the setting, json_field which is the JSON
compatible identifier of the setting, description which is an
outline of the setting state, and exposure which is a number
in the range 0.0...10.0, where a higher value corresponds to a
higher security threat. The JSON version of the table is
printed to standard output. The MODE passed to the option can
be one of three: off which is the default, pretty and short
which respectively output a prettified or shorted JSON version
of the security table. With the plot command, generate a JSON
formatted output of the raw time data. The format is a JSON
array with objects containing the following fields: name which
is the unit name, activated which is the time after startup
the service was activated, activating which is how long after
startup the service was initially started, time which is how
long the service took to activate from when it was initially
started, deactivated which is the time after startup that the
service was deactivated, deactivating which is the time after
startup that the service was initially told to deactivate.
Added in version 250.
--iterations=NUMBER
When used with the calendar command, show the specified number
of iterations the specified calendar expression will elapse
next. Defaults to 1.
Added in version 242.
--base-time=TIMESTAMP
When used with the calendar command, show next iterations
relative to the specified point in time. If not specified,
defaults to the current time.
Added in version 244.
--unit=UNIT
When used with the condition command, evaluate all the
Condition*=... and Assert*=... assignments in the specified
unit file. The full unit search path is formed by combining
the directories for the specified unit with the usual unit
load paths. The variable $SYSTEMD_UNIT_PATH is supported, and
may be used to replace or augment the compiled in set of unit
load paths; see systemd.unit(5). All units files present in
the directory containing the specified unit will be used in
preference to the other paths. If a template unit without an
instance name is specified (e.g. foo@.service),
"test_instance" will be used as the instance name, which can
be controlled by --instance= option.
Added in version 250.
--table
When used with the plot command, the raw time data is output
in a table.
Added in version 253.
--no-legend
When used with the plot command in combination with either
--table or --json=, no legends or hints are included in the
output.
Added in version 253.
-H, --host=
Execute the operation remotely. Specify a hostname, or a
username and hostname separated by "@", to connect to. The
hostname may optionally be suffixed by a port ssh is listening
on, separated by ":", and then a container name, separated by
"/", which connects directly to a specific container on the
specified host. This will use SSH to talk to the remote
machine manager instance. Container names may be enumerated
with machinectl -H HOST. Put IPv6 addresses in brackets.
-M, --machine=
Execute operation on a local container. Specify a container
name to connect to, optionally prefixed by a user name to
connect as and a separating "@" character. If the special
string ".host" is used in place of the container name, a
connection to the local system is made (which is useful to
connect to a specific user's user bus: "--user
--machine=lennart@.host"). If the "@" syntax is not used, the
connection is made as root user. If the "@" syntax is used
either the left hand side or the right hand side may be
omitted (but not both) in which case the local user name and
".host" are implied.
-q, --quiet
Suppress hints and other non-essential output.
Added in version 250.
--tldr
With cat-config, only print the "interesting" parts of the
configuration files, skipping comments and empty lines and
section headers followed only by comments and empty lines.
Added in version 255.
--scale-svg=FACTOR
When used with the plot command, the x-axis of the plot can be
stretched by FACTOR (default: 1.0).
Added in version 257.
--detailed
When used with the plot command, activation timestamps details
can be seen in SVG plot.
Added in version 257.
-h, --help
Print a short help text and exit.
--version
Print a short version string and exit.
--no-pager
Do not pipe output into a pager.
For most commands, 0 is returned on success, and a non-zero
failure code otherwise.
With the verb compare-versions, in the two-argument form, 12, 0,
11 is returned if the second version string is respectively
larger, equal, or smaller to the first. In the three-argument
form, 0 or 1 if the condition is respectively true or false.
In case of the has-tpm2 command returns 0 if a TPM2 device is
discovered, supported and used by firmware, driver, and userspace
(i.e. systemd). Otherwise, returns the OR combination of the value
1 (in case firmware support is missing), 2 (in case driver support
is missing) and 4 (in case userspace support is missing). If no
TPM2 support is available at all, value 7 is hence returned.
$SYSTEMD_LOG_LEVEL
The maximum log level of emitted messages (messages with a
higher log level, i.e. less important ones, will be
suppressed). Takes a comma-separated list of values. A value
may be either one of (in order of decreasing importance)
emerg, alert, crit, err, warning, notice, info, debug, or an
integer in the range 0...7. See syslog(3) for more
information. Each value may optionally be prefixed with one of
console, syslog, kmsg or journal followed by a colon to set
the maximum log level for that specific log target (e.g.
SYSTEMD_LOG_LEVEL=debug,console:info specifies to log at debug
level except when logging to the console which should be at
info level). Note that the global maximum log level takes
priority over any per target maximum log levels.
$SYSTEMD_LOG_COLOR
A boolean. If true, messages written to the tty will be
colored according to priority.
This setting is only useful when messages are written directly
to the terminal, because journalctl(1) and other tools that
display logs will color messages based on the log level on
their own.
$SYSTEMD_LOG_TIME
A boolean. If true, console log messages will be prefixed with
a timestamp.
This setting is only useful when messages are written directly
to the terminal or a file, because journalctl(1) and other
tools that display logs will attach timestamps based on the
entry metadata on their own.
$SYSTEMD_LOG_LOCATION
A boolean. If true, messages will be prefixed with a filename
and line number in the source code where the message
originates.
Note that the log location is often attached as metadata to
journal entries anyway. Including it directly in the message
text can nevertheless be convenient when debugging programs.
$SYSTEMD_LOG_TID
A boolean. If true, messages will be prefixed with the current
numerical thread ID (TID).
Note that the this information is attached as metadata to
journal entries anyway. Including it directly in the message
text can nevertheless be convenient when debugging programs.
$SYSTEMD_LOG_TARGET
The destination for log messages. One of console (log to the
attached tty), console-prefixed (log to the attached tty but
with prefixes encoding the log level and "facility", see
syslog(3), kmsg (log to the kernel circular log buffer),
journal (log to the journal), journal-or-kmsg (log to the
journal if available, and to kmsg otherwise), auto (determine
the appropriate log target automatically, the default), null
(disable log output).
$SYSTEMD_LOG_RATELIMIT_KMSG
Whether to ratelimit kmsg or not. Takes a boolean. Defaults to
"true". If disabled, systemd will not ratelimit messages
written to kmsg.
$SYSTEMD_PAGER
Pager to use when --no-pager is not given; overrides $PAGER.
If neither $SYSTEMD_PAGER nor $PAGER are set, a set of
well-known pager implementations are tried in turn, including
less(1) and more(1), until one is found. If no pager
implementation is discovered no pager is invoked. Setting this
environment variable to an empty string or the value "cat" is
equivalent to passing --no-pager.
Note: if $SYSTEMD_PAGERSECURE is not set, $SYSTEMD_PAGER (as
well as $PAGER) will be silently ignored.
$SYSTEMD_LESS
Override the options passed to less (by default "FRSXMK").
Users might want to change two options in particular:
K
This option instructs the pager to exit immediately when
Ctrl+C is pressed. To allow less to handle Ctrl+C itself
to switch back to the pager command prompt, unset this
option.
If the value of $SYSTEMD_LESS does not include "K", and
the pager that is invoked is less, Ctrl+C will be ignored
by the executable, and needs to be handled by the pager.
X
This option instructs the pager to not send termcap
initialization and deinitialization strings to the
terminal. It is set by default to allow command output to
remain visible in the terminal even after the pager exits.
Nevertheless, this prevents some pager functionality from
working, in particular paged output cannot be scrolled
with the mouse.
Note that setting the regular $LESS environment variable has
no effect for less invocations by systemd tools.
See less(1) for more discussion.
$SYSTEMD_LESSCHARSET
Override the charset passed to less (by default "utf-8", if
the invoking terminal is determined to be UTF-8 compatible).
Note that setting the regular $LESSCHARSET environment
variable has no effect for less invocations by systemd tools.
$SYSTEMD_PAGERSECURE
Takes a boolean argument. When true, the "secure" mode of the
pager is enabled; if false, disabled. If $SYSTEMD_PAGERSECURE
is not set at all, secure mode is enabled if the effective UID
is not the same as the owner of the login session, see
geteuid(2) and sd_pid_get_owner_uid(3). In secure mode,
LESSSECURE=1 will be set when invoking the pager, and the
pager shall disable commands that open or create new files or
start new subprocesses. When $SYSTEMD_PAGERSECURE is not set
at all, pagers which are not known to implement secure mode
will not be used. (Currently only less(1) implements secure
mode.)
Note: when commands are invoked with elevated privileges, for
example under sudo(8) or pkexec(1), care must be taken to
ensure that unintended interactive features are not enabled.
"Secure" mode for the pager may be enabled automatically as
describe above. Setting SYSTEMD_PAGERSECURE=0 or not removing
it from the inherited environment allows the user to invoke
arbitrary commands. Note that if the $SYSTEMD_PAGER or $PAGER
variables are to be honoured, $SYSTEMD_PAGERSECURE must be set
too. It might be reasonable to completely disable the pager
using --no-pager instead.
$SYSTEMD_COLORS
Takes a boolean argument. When true, systemd and related
utilities will use colors in their output, otherwise the
output will be monochrome. Additionally, the variable can take
one of the following special values: "16", "256" to restrict
the use of colors to the base 16 or 256 ANSI colors,
respectively. This can be specified to override the automatic
decision based on $TERM and what the console is connected to.
$SYSTEMD_URLIFY
The value must be a boolean. Controls whether clickable links
should be generated in the output for terminal emulators
supporting this. This can be specified to override the
decision that systemd makes based on $TERM and other
conditions.
Example 31. JSON Policy
The JSON file passed as a path parameter to --security-policy= has
a top-level JSON object, with keys being the assessment test
identifiers mentioned above. The values in the file should be JSON
objects with one or more of the following fields: description_na
(string), description_good (string), description_bad (string),
weight (unsigned integer), and range (unsigned integer). If any of
these fields corresponding to a specific id of the unit file is
missing from the JSON object, the default built-in field value
corresponding to that same id is used for security analysis as
default. The weight and range fields are used in determining the
overall exposure level of the unit files: the value of each
setting is assigned a badness score, which is multiplied by the
policy weight and divided by the policy range to determine the
overall exposure that the setting implies. The computed badness is
summed across all settings in the unit file, normalized to the
1...100 range, and used to determine the overall exposure level of
the unit. By allowing users to manipulate these fields, the
'security' verb gives them the option to decide for themself which
ids are more important and hence should have a greater effect on
the exposure level. A weight of "0" means the setting will not be
checked.
