gcloud compute instances send-diagnostic-interrupt

NAME
gcloud compute instances send-diagnostic-interrupt - send a diagnostic interrupt to a virtual machine instance
SYNOPSIS
gcloud compute instances send-diagnostic-interruptINSTANCE_NAME[--zone=ZONE][GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG …]
DESCRIPTION
gcloud compute instances send-diagnostic-interrupt is used to senda diagnostic interrupt to a running instance, which triggers special interrupthandling logic inside VM.

For instances with Intel or AMD processors, the guest OS on the instance willreceive a non-maskable interrupt (NMI).

EXAMPLES
To send a diagnostic interrupt to an instance namedtest-instance, run:
gcloudcomputeinstancessend-diagnostic-interrupttest-instance
POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS
INSTANCE_NAME
Name of the instance to operate on. For details on valid instance names, referto the criteria documented under the field 'name' at:https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/reference/rest/v1/instances
FLAGS
--zone=ZONE
Zone of the instance to operate on. If not specified, you might be prompted toselect a zone (interactive mode only).gcloud attempts to identify theappropriate zone by searching for resources in your currently active project. Ifthe zone cannot be determined,gcloud prompts you for a selection withall available Google Cloud Platform zones.

To avoid prompting when this flag is omitted, the user can set thecompute/zone property:

gcloudconfigsetcompute/zoneZONE

A list of zones can be fetched by running:

gcloudcomputezoneslist

To unset the property, run:

gcloudconfigunsetcompute/zone

Alternatively, the zone can be stored in the environment variableCLOUDSDK_COMPUTE_ZONE.

GCLOUD WIDE FLAGS
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.
