You can also use the <code>--since</code> argument to filter entries:
 +
<pre>
 +
--since "2017-10-14 17:00:00"
 +
--since today
 +
</pre>

SystemMaxUse=100M

:<code>--utc</code>: show time in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).

systemd is a suite of system management daemons, libraries, and utilities designed as a central management and configuration platform for the Linux computer operating system.

Example usage

  • Check if you are running "init" or "systemd":
$ cat /proc/1/comm
systemd
  • Restart network:
$ systemctl restart network.target

$ systemctl stop firewalld
$ systemctl mask firewalld
  • Get default target:
$ systemctl get-default # note: usually will be "graphical.target" ("runlevel 5")
  • Set default target:
$ systemctl set-default multi-user.target ("runlevel 3")
  • Change to a new target:
$ systemctl isolate multi-user.target
  • Switch to the rescue environment ("runlevel 1")
$ systemctl rescue
  • Switch to default target:
$ systemctl default
  • Reboot server:
$ systemctl isolate reboot.target
  • Power off server:
$ systemctl poweroff
#~or~
$ systemctl isolate shutdown.target
  • Miscellaneous:
$ systemctl list-units
$ systemctl list-units -t service
$ systemctl list-units | grep .service
$ systemctl list-units -t target
$ systemctl list-unit-files
$ systemctl list-unit-files -t target
$ systemctl list-dependencies multi-user.target
$ systemctl [status|stop|enable|disable|restart] ssh.service
$ systemctl is-enabled ssh.service
$ systemctl edit --full docker.service
$ systemctl cat ssh.service
$ systemctl show --property=ExecStart docker.service
$ systemctl is-active docker   
active
$ systemctl [reboot|poweroff|suspend]
  • List all loaded units:
$ systemctl list-units -all | grep loaded | awk '{print $1;}'
  • List all enabled units:
$ systemctl list-unit-files | grep enabled | awk '{print $1;}'
  • List all loaded services:
$ systemctl list-units -all | grep service | grep loaded | awk '{print $1;}'
  • List all enabled services:
$ systemctl list-unit-files | grep service | grep enabled | awk '{print $1;}' > enabled.txt
  • Find a list of services that are loaded but not enabled:
$ systemctl list-units -all | grep service | grep loaded | awk '{print $1;}' > loaded.txt
$ systemctl list-unit-files | grep service | grep enabled | awk '{print $1;}' > enabled.txt
$ diff -y loaded.txt enabled.txt
# Check for missing ones:
$ diff -y loaded.txt enabled.txt | grep '<'
  • List failed services:
$ systemctl --failed
  UNIT              LOAD   ACTIVE SUB    DESCRIPTION
● pollinate.service loaded failed failed Seed the pseudo random number generator on first boot
● vboxadd.service   loaded failed failed LSB: VirtualBox Linux Additions kernel modules
LOAD   = Reflects whether the unit definition was properly loaded.
ACTIVE = The high-level unit activation state, i.e. generalization of SUB.
SUB    = The low-level unit activation state, values depend on unit type.
  • cgroup tree

Related commands

systemd-analyze

  • Analyze system boot-up performance
$ systemd-analyze
Startup finished in 5.223s (kernel) + 7.781s (userspace) = 13.004s

# ~OR~

$ systemd-analyze  # AWS EC2 instance (t2-micro):
Startup finished in 1.588s (kernel) + 3.100s (initrd) + 27.516s (userspace) = 32.206s
multi-user.target reached after 11.735s in userspace

# ~OR~

$ systemd-analyze  # System76 laptop running Ubuntu 18.04:
Startup finished in 3.993s (firmware) + 29.599s (loader) + 5.337s (kernel) + 12.725s (userspace) = 51.655s
graphical.target reached after 12.717s in userspace
  • Plot all dependencies of any unit whose name starts with "avahi-daemon":
$ systemd-analyze dot 'avahi-daemon.*' | dot -Tsvg > avahi.svg
$ eog avahi.svg
  • Plot the dependencies between all known target units:
$ systemd-analyze dot --to-pattern='*.target' --from-pattern='*.target' | dot -Tsvg > targets.svg
$ eog targets.svg

journalctl

Note: combine with syslog-ng for backward compatibility. 

$ journalctl
$ journalctl | grep -Ei 'error|fail'
$ journalctl -b  # show only logs from this boot
$ journalctl -b -1 # show only logs from previous boot
$ journalctl -u ssh  # show only logs for a given unit
$ journalctl -f  # follow (somewhat analogous to `tail -f /var/log/messages`)
$ journalctl -f -u ssh.service  # show only logs for ssh unit and follow
  • Show logs for a given date/time period:
$ journalctl -u ssh --since="2014-12-06 23:35:00"
$ journalctl --since "2014-12-06" --until "2014-12-07 03:00"
$ journalctl --since yesterday
$ journalctl --since 03:00 --until "1 hour ago"
$ journalctl -u ssh.service --since="5 minutes ago"
  • Show BIOS boot up sequence:
$ journalctl --no-hostname -o short-monotonic --boot -0
Cleanup journal logs (i.e., the self-maintenance method is to vacuum the logs by size or time)
  • Retain only the past two days:
$ journalctl --vacuum-time=2d
  • Retain only the past 500 MB:
$ journalctl --vacuum-size=500M

For an even more robust cleanup: 

$ journalctl --flush --rotate
$ journalctl --vacuum-time=1s

You can also use the --since argument to filter entries: 

--since "2017-10-14 17:00:00"
--since today

Finally, you can set the following in /etc/systemd/journald.conf: 

SystemMaxUse=100M
  • Misc:
$ journalctl --utc -ke

Where:

--utc: show time in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).
-ke: show only kernel messages and jumps to end of the log.

See: man journalctl for more information.

timedatectl

Note: Most of these commands will need to be run as either root or sudo and is only valid for systems using systemd.

  • List all available timezones on your computer/server:
$ timedatectl list-timezones
  • Set your computer's/server's timezone:
$ timedatectl set-timezone region/timezone
  • For instance, to set your timezone to United States Pacific Time (PST; -8GMT):
$ timedatectl set-timezone America/Vancouver

Your system will be updated to use the selected timezone. You can verify with: 

$ timedatectl

      Local time: Fri, 2012-11-02 09:26:46 CET
  Universal time: Fri, 2012-11-02 08:26:46 UTC
