Get an instance's in-VM agent liveness.

GET
/v1/projects/{projectId}/compute/instances/{instanceId}/agent-status
Code sample: Shell / cURL
curl --request GET \
--url https://stratum.example.com/v1/projects/example/compute/instances/example/agent-status \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer <token>'

Returns the in-VM stratum-instance-agent’s reported liveness for the instance: a derived health (healthy | unhealthy | unknown | agent_disabled | enrollment_pending), the last-seen timestamp, the agent version, and the result of its most recent reconcile. The agent PUTs a heartbeat over the tokenless IMDS rail on a fast timer; health is derived from how recently it was last seen. An instance whose agent has never reported is unknown. An instance that does not want an agent is agent_disabled, and one enabled but not yet enrolled is enrollment_pending, matching its agentEnabled and agentEnrollmentPending. Gates on the compute:DescribeInstance Cedar action on the instance (same as reading the instance).

The instance’s in-VM agent status.

Media typeapplication/json

An instance’s in-VM agent liveness. health is derived from lastSeen: an agent seen within a few heartbeat intervals is healthy, one that has gone silent is unhealthy, and an instance whose agent has never reported is unknown (the remaining fields are then omitted). The instance’s agent settings come first: agent_disabled when its agentEnabled is false, enrollment_pending when agentEnrollmentPending is true, whatever the heartbeat says.

object
instanceId
required
string
health
required

Derived agent liveness. agent_disabled: the instance’s agentEnabled is false, so no agent is wanted and its silence is not a fault. enrollment_pending: enable-agent ran and its install command has not been run in the guest yet. Exactly the instance fields, so the two never disagree.

string
Allowed values: healthy unhealthy unknown agent_disabled enrollment_pending
lastSeen

When the control plane last received a heartbeat.

string format: date-time
agentVersion

The agent’s reported build version.

string
lastReconcileResult

Result of the agent’s most recent reconcile (“ok” or “error”).

string
lastReconcileAt

When the agent last completed a reconcile.

string format: date-time

{
"instanceId": "i-A8c2D4e6F",

issues

The findings of a rejected IAM policy document (custom and resource policies).

Array<object>

One finding of a rejected IAM policy document. A rejection lists every finding, so the author fixes the document in one round trip.

object
code
required

The finding, e.g. INVALID_DOCUMENT, UNKNOWN_ACTION, ACTION_NOT_APPLICABLE.

string
statement

Index of the statement at fault; -1 for the document as a whole.

required
string
action

The offending action, where one is at fault (ACTION_NOT_APPLICABLE).

string
errors

Field errors, for codes that carry them: each problem at its field (see FieldError). Documented on the responses that set it, e.g. approveNodeJoin’s INVALID_INPUT and JOIN_APPROVAL_REFUSED. Absent otherwise.

Array<object>

One field’s problem, the stage-2 installer API’s shape. field is the field’s path, message what is wrong with it.

object
field
required

The field’s path, e.g. links[0].interface, disks[1].confirm, mgmt.address or role; empty for the whole request.

string
message
required
string
details

Structured facts about the refusal, for codes that carry them. The shape is fixed per code and documented on the response that answers it, e.g. IMAGE_POOL_MISMATCH (see ImagePoolMismatchDetails) and IMAGE_IN_USE. Absent for codes that carry none.
