NAME gcloud beta compute instances send-diagnostic-interrupt - send a diagnostic interrupt to a virtual machine instance SYNOPSIS gcloud beta compute instances send-diagnostic-interrupt INSTANCE_NAME [--zone=ZONE] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG ...] DESCRIPTION (BETA) gcloud beta 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 beta 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 beta and might change without notice. These variants are also available: $ gcloud compute instances send-diagnostic-interrupt $ gcloud alpha compute instances send-diagnostic-interrupt
