[root@localhost ~]# systemctl list-units --state failed
  UNIT          LOAD   ACTIVE SUB    DESCRIPTION
● httpd.service loaded failed failed The Apache HTTP Server

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.

1 loaded units listed. Pass --all to see loaded but inactive units, too.
To show all installed unit files use 'systemctl list-unit-files'.

可以发现，有个一个服务启动失败了。

可以使用is-failed选项检查指定的服务是否启动失败。如果启动失败，结果是failed。如果启动没有问题，结果是active。

[root@localhost ~]# systemctl is-failed httpd
failed
[root@localhost ~]# systemctl is-failed vsftpd
active

可以使用status选项，查看服务启动失败的原因，下面状态信息里面告诉我们，是httpd.conf配置文件354行有语法错误。

May 26 09:22:05 localhost httpd[2958]: httpd: Syntax error on line 354 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf: /...osed.

[root@localhost ~]# systemctl status httpd

如果使用systemctl status [unit]没有找到服务启动失败的原因，可以使用journalctl查看更多的启动日志。

下面操作是过滤出所有带有error的行，可以找到启动失败的服务。

[root@localhost ~]# journalctl |grep 'error'
May 26 09:22:05 localhost httpd[2958]: httpd: Syntax error on line 354 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf: /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf:354:  was not closed.

也可以使用journalctl -u [unit]只查看某一个服务的启动日志：

[root@localhost ~]# journalctl -u httpd.service 
-- Logs begin at Sun 2020-05-24 06:52:52 CST, end at Tue 2020-05-26 09:48:03 CST. --

#过滤出有错误的信息。
[root@localhost ~]# journalctl -u httpd.service |grep 'error'

发现 /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf配置文件的354行，Directory标签没有关闭，返现原因了，就马上修改吧。

我们学习了如何使用systemctl显示在Linux上运行失败的服务/单元。有关详细信息，请查看systemctl手册。
