.SH "NAME"

.SH "DESCRIPTION"

\fB(ALPHA)\fR \fBgcloud alpha compute os\-config troubleshoot\fR 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:

.RS 2m
.IP "\(bu" 2m
Checks if the OS Config API is enabled in the project.
.RE
.sp

.RS 2m
.IP "\(bu" 2m
Checks if the required metadata is set up correctly in the VM instance.
.RE
.sp

.RS 2m
.IP "\(bu" 2m
Checks if the latest version of the OS Config agent is running on the VM
instance.
.RE
.sp

.RS 2m
.IP "\(bu" 2m
Checks if a service account is attached to the VM instance.
.RE
.sp

.RS 2m
.IP "\(bu" 2m
Checks if the VM Manager service agent is enabled.
.RE
.sp

.RS 2m
.IP "\(bu" 2m
Checks if the VM instance has a public IP or Private Google Access.
.RE
.sp



.SH "EXAMPLES"

To troubleshoot an instance named \f5my\-instance\fR in zone \f5us\-west1\-a\fR,
run

.RS 2m
$ gcloud alpha compute os\-config troubleshoot my\-instance \e
  \-\-zone=us\-west1\-a
.RE

To troubleshoot the same instance in the same zone with log analysis, run

.RS 2m
$ gcloud alpha compute os\-config troubleshoot my\-instance \e
  \-\-zone=us\-west1\-a \-\-enable\-log\-analysis
.RE



.SH "POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS"

.RS 2m
.TP 2m
\fIINSTANCE_NAME\fR

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


.RE
.sp

.SH "FLAGS"

.RS 2m
.TP 2m
\fB\-\-enable\-log\-analysis\fR

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.

.TP 2m
\fB\-\-zone\fR=\fIZONE\fR

Zone of the instance to operate on. If not specified, you might be prompted to
select a zone (interactive mode only). \f5gcloud\fR attempts to identify the
appropriate zone by searching for resources in your currently active project. If
the zone cannot be determined, \f5gcloud\fR 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
\f5\fIcompute/zone\fR\fR property:

.RS 2m
$ gcloud config set compute/zone ZONE
.RE

A list of zones can be fetched by running:

.RS 2m
$ gcloud compute zones list
.RE

To unset the property, run:

.RS 2m
$ gcloud config unset compute/zone
.RE

Alternatively, the zone can be stored in the environment variable
\f5\fICLOUDSDK_COMPUTE_ZONE\fR\fR.

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:
