gcloud alpha compute os-config troubleshoot - troubleshoot issues with the setup of VM Manager on a specified VM instance
gcloud alpha compute os-config troubleshoot INSTANCE_NAME [--enable-log-analysis] [--zone=ZONE] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG ...]
(ALPHA) gcloud alpha compute os-config troubleshoot troubleshoots issues with the setup of VM Manager on a specified VM instance
The troubleshoot command investigates the following settings or configurations for your VM Manager setup:
Checks if the OS Config API is enabled in the project.
Checks if the required metadata is set up correctly in the VM instance.
Checks if the latest version of the OS Config agent is running on the VM instance.
Checks if a service account is attached to the VM instance.
Checks if the VM Manager service agent is enabled.
Checks if the VM instance has a public IP or Private Google Access.
To troubleshoot an instance named my-instance in zone us-west1-a, run
$ gcloud alpha compute os-config troubleshoot my-instance \ --zone=us-west1-a
To troubleshoot the same instance in the same zone with log analysis, run
$ gcloud alpha compute os-config troubleshoot my-instance \ --zone=us-west1-a --enable-log-analysis
- INSTANCE_NAME
Name of the instance to operate on. For details on valid instance names, refer to the criteria documented under the field 'name' at: https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/reference/rest/v1/instances
- --enable-log-analysis
Enable the checking of audit logs created by Cloud Logging. The troubleshooter checks the VM's Cloud Logging logs and serial log output for errors, provides you with the analysis data, and allows you to download the logs.
- --zone=ZONE
Zone of the instance to operate on. If not specified, you might be prompted to select a zone (interactive mode only). gcloud attempts to identify the appropriate zone by searching for resources in your currently active project. If the zone cannot be determined, gcloud prompts you for a selection with all available Google Cloud Platform zones.
To avoid prompting when this flag is omitted, the user can set the compute/zone property:
$ gcloud config set compute/zone ZONE
A list of zones can be fetched by running:
$ gcloud compute zones list
To unset the property, run:
$ gcloud config unset compute/zone
Alternatively, the zone can be stored in the environment variable CLOUDSDK_COMPUTE_ZONE.
These flags are available to all commands: --access-token-file, --account, --billing-project, --configuration, --flags-file, --flatten, --format, --help, --impersonate-service-account, --log-http, --project, --quiet, --trace-token, --user-output-enabled, --verbosity.
Run $ gcloud help for details.
This command is currently in alpha and might change without notice. If this command fails with API permission errors despite specifying the correct project, you might be trying to access an API with an invitation-only early access allowlist. This variant is also available:
