NAME
    gcloud alpha compute instances send-diagnostic-interrupt - send a
        diagnostic interrupt to a virtual machine instance

SYNOPSIS
    gcloud alpha compute instances send-diagnostic-interrupt INSTANCE_NAME
        [--zone=ZONE] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG ...]

DESCRIPTION
    (ALPHA) gcloud alpha compute instances send-diagnostic-interrupt is used to
    send a diagnostic interrupt to a running instance, which triggers special
    interrupt handling logic inside VM.

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

EXAMPLES
    To send a diagnostic interrupt to an instance named test-instance, run:

        $ gcloud alpha compute instances send-diagnostic-interrupt \
            test-instance

POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS
     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

FLAGS
     --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.

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.

    Run $ gcloud help for details.

NOTES
    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. These variants are also available:

        $ gcloud compute instances send-diagnostic-interrupt

        $ gcloud beta compute instances send-diagnostic-interrupt
