gcloud alpha compute diagnose export-logs

NAME: gcloud alpha compute diagnose export-logs - triggers instance to gather logs and upload them to a Cloud Storage Bucket
SYNOPSIS: gcloud alpha compute diagnose export-logs INSTANCE_NAME [--collect-process-traces] [--zone=ZONE] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG …]
DESCRIPTION: (ALPHA) Gathers logs from a running Compute Engine VM and exports them to a Google Cloud Storage Bucket. Outputs a path to the logs within the Bucket.
EXAMPLES: To export logs and upload them to a Cloud Storage Bucket, run:
gcloud alpha compute diagnose export-logs example-instance --zone=us-central1
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: --collect-process-traces

Collect a 10 minute trace of the running system. On Windows, this utilizes Windows Performance Recorder. It records CPU, disk, file, and network activity during that time.

--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:
