How to get notified when a server started with gcloud is completely up

  • 772

Is there a way to detect when a server is completely up (i.e. finished all the kernel startup tasks)? This is a Google Compute Engine Instance.

My problem is that I can connect to it using SSH when kernel progress is below 30% and some processes are not yet started. I want to detect somehow if the server has completed startup.

  1. You can create your own script to call the following command frequently:

    gcloud compute instances get-serial-port-output INSTANCE_NAME

    The serial port output will provide you with all the logs on your instance including the services that started as well.
