Collect evidence before changing the system

01

List failed systemd services

systemctl --failed

The output matches the expected target and exits without an error.

02

Print status details for every failed systemd unit

systemctl --failed --no-legend | awk '{print $1}' | xargs -r systemctl status --no-pager --lines=<lines>

The output matches the expected target and exits without an error.

03

Read one service log for the last hour with precise timestamps

journalctl -u <service> --since '1 hour ago' -o short-iso-precise --no-pager

The output matches the expected target and exits without an error.
