BOOTCHART(1)						      General Commands Manual						      BOOTCHART(1)

NAME

       bootchart - render a chart from the statistical data recorded with bootchartd

SYNOPSIS

       bootchart [-f|--format FORMAT] [-n|--no-prune] [-o|--output-dir DIR] files ...

DESCRIPTION

       bootchart  is used to process the log file created by bootchartd(1) (/var/log/bootchart.tgz by default).  bootchart builds the process tree
       and renders a performance chart in different formats.  The chart may then be analyzed to examine process dependency  and  overall  resource
       utilization.

OPTIONS

       -f,--format FORMAT
	      Sets the format of the image. Possible values are: png, eps, svg (default)

       -h, --help
	      Display brief usage message.

       -n, --no-prune
	      Do  not prune the process tree.  To make the resulting process tree more comprehensible, bootchart will prune the tree using various
	      techniques (removing short-lived processes, merging processes, etc.).  This option disables such behavior.

       -o, --output-dir DIR
	      Sets the output directory for the resulting image. (default: .)

       -v, --version
	      Show program version.

FILES

       /var/log/bootchart.tgz
	      the default log file to parse (unless otherwise specified).

NAME

       bootchart.conf - Boot performance analysis graphing tool configuration file

SYNOPSIS

       /etc/systemd/bootchart.conf

DESCRIPTION

       When starting, systemd-bootchart will read the configuration file bootchart.conf. This configuration file determines logging parameters and
       graph output.

OPTIONS

       Samples=500
	   Configure the amount of samples to record in total before bootchart exits. Each sample will record at intervals defined by Frequency=.

       Frequency=25
	   Configure the sample log frequency. This can be a fractional number, but must be larger than 0.0. Most systems can cope with values
	   under 25-50 without impacting boot time severely.

       Relative=no
	   Configures whether the left axis of the output graph equals time=0.0 (CLOCK_MONOTONIC start). This is useful for using bootchart at
	   post-boot time to profile an already booted system, otherwise the graph would become extremely large. If set to yes, the horizontal
	   axis starts at the first recorded sample instead of time=0.0.

       Filter=no
	   Configures whether the resulting graph should omit tasks that did not contribute significantly to the boot. Processes that are too
	   short-lived (only seen in one sample) or that do not consume any significant CPU time (less than 0.001sec) will not be displayed in the
	   output graph.

       Output=[path]
	   Configures the output directory for writing the graphs. By default, bootchart writes the graphs to /run/log.

       Init=[path]
	   Configures bootchart to run a non-standard binary instead of /sbin/init. This option is only relevant if bootchart was invoked from the
	   kernel command line with init=/usr/lib/systemd/systemd-bootchart.

       PlotMemoryUsage=no
	   If set to yes, enables logging and graphing of processes' PSS memory consumption.

       PlotEntropyGraph=no
	   If set to yes, enables logging and graphing of the kernel random entropy pool size.

       ScaleX=100
	   Horizontal scaling factor for all variable graph components.

       ScaleY=20
	   Vertical scaling factor for all variable graph components.
