gcloud compute diagnose export-logs

NAME: gcloud compute diagnose export-logs - triggers instance to gather logs and upload them to a Cloud Storage Bucket
SYNOPSIS: gcloud compute diagnose export-logs INSTANCE_NAME [--collect-process-traces] [--zone=ZONE] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG …]
DESCRIPTION: 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 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.
