.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.HP
\f5gcloud beta app instances enable\-debug\fR [\fIINSTANCE\fR] [\fB\-\-service\fR=\fISERVICE\fR,\ \fB\-s\fR\ \fISERVICE\fR] [\fB\-\-version\fR=\fIVERSION\fR,\ \fB\-v\fR\ \fIVERSION\fR] [\fIGCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG\ ...\fR]



.SH "DESCRIPTION"

\fB(BETA)\fR When in debug mode, SSH will be enabled on the VMs, and you can use
\f5gcloud compute ssh\fR to login to them. They will be removed from the health
checking pools, but they still receive requests.

Note that any local changes to an instance will be \fBlost\fR if debug mode is
disabled on the instance. New instance(s) may spawn depending on the app's
scaling settings.

Additionally, debug mode doesn't work for applications using the App Engine
standard environment.

To enable debug mode for a particular instance, run:

.RS 2m
$ gcloud beta app instances enable\-debug \-\-service=s1 \-\-version=v1 i1
