.SH "NAME"
bootchart.conf \- Boot performance analysis graphing tool configuration file
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.PP
/etc/systemd/bootchart\&.conf
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
When starting, systemd\-bootchart will read the configuration file
bootchart\&.conf\&. This configuration file determines logging parameters and graph output\&.
.SH "OPTIONS"
.PP
\fISamples=500\fR
.RS 4
Configure the amount of samples to record in total before bootchart exits\&. Each sample will record at intervals defined by Frequency=\&.
.RE
.PP
\fIFrequency=25\fR
.RS 4
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\&.
.RE
.PP
\fIRelative=no\fR
.RS 4
Configures whether the left axis of the output graph equals time=0\&.0 (\fBCLOCK_MONOTONIC\fR
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\&.
.RE
.PP
\fIFilter=no\fR
.RS 4
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\&.
.RE
.PP
\fIOutput=[path]\fR
.RS 4
Configures the output directory for writing the graphs\&. By default, bootchart writes the graphs to
/run/log\&.
.RE
.PP
\fIInit=[path]\fR
.RS 4
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\&.
.RE
.PP
\fIPlotMemoryUsage=no\fR
.RS 4
If set to yes, enables logging and graphing of processes\*(Aq PSS memory consumption\&.
.RE
.PP
\fIPlotEntropyGraph=no\fR
.RS 4
If set to yes, enables logging and graphing of the kernel random entropy pool size\&.
.RE
.PP
\fIScaleX=100\fR
.RS 4
Horizontal scaling factor for all variable graph components\&.
.RE
.PP
\fIScaleY=20\fR
.RS 4
Vertical scaling factor for all variable graph components\&.
.RE
.PP
\fIControlGroup=no\fR
.RS 4
Display process control group\&.
.RE
