file <code class="filename">/etc/systemd/bootchart.conf</code>, followed by
the files in the <code class="filename">bootchart.conf.d</code>

parameters and graph output.</p></div><div class="refsection"><a name="confd"></a><h2>Configuration Directories and Precedence</h2><p>Configuration files are read from directories in
<code class="filename">/etc/</code>, <code class="filename">/run/</code>, and
<code class="filename">/usr/lib/</code>, in order of precedence.
Each configuration file in these configuration directories shall be named in
the style of <code class="filename"><em class="replaceable"><code>filename</code></em>.conf</code>.
Files in <code class="filename">/etc/</code> override files with the same name in
<code class="filename">/run/</code> and <code class="filename">/usr/lib/</code>. Files in
<code class="filename">/run/</code> override files with the same name in
<code class="filename">/usr/lib/</code>.</p><p>Packages should install their configuration files in
<code class="filename">/usr/lib/</code>. Files in <code class="filename">/etc/</code> are
reserved for the local administrator, who may use this logic to override the
configuration files installed by vendor packages. All configuration files
are sorted by their filename in lexicographic order, regardless of which of
the directories they reside in. If multiple files specify the same option,
the entry in the file with the lexicographically latest name will take
precedence. It is recommended to prefix all filenames with a two-digit number
and a dash, to simplify the ordering of the files.</p><p>If the administrator wants to disable a configuration file supplied by
the vendor, the recommended way is to place a symlink to
<code class="filename">/dev/null</code> in the configuration directory in
<code class="filename">/etc/</code>, with the same filename as the vendor
configuration file.</p></div><div class="refsection"><a name="conf"></a><h2>Configuration File</h2><p>Configuration is also read from a single configuration file in
<code class="filename">/etc/</code>. This file is read before any of the
configuration directories, and has the lowest precedence; entries in a file
in any configuration directory override entries in the single configuration
file.</p></div><div class="refsect1"><a name="idm140158921534208"></a><h2 id="Options">Options<a class="headerlink" title="Permalink to this headline" href="#Options"></a></h2><div class="variablelist"><dl class="variablelist"><dt id="Samples=500"><span class="term"><code class="varname">Samples=500</code></span><a class="headerlink" title="Permalink to this term" href="#Samples=500"></a></dt><dd><p>Configure the amount of samples to record in
