How can I read guest attributes value through web console?

[gcpandy]

Hi, I am passing some values from inside OS VM to VM guest attributes

Is there a way to see the current guest attributes values in browser in GCP dashboard?

Can see only input attributes/metadata but not guest attributes...

Keen to avoid gloud and other CLIs and cannot find another option so far

Hi @gcpandy,

Welcome to the Google Cloud Community!

Unfortunately, it is not possible to view the guest attributes in the Details page of the instance. It can only be queried through the CLI, gcloud, and REST at the moment [1].

You may file for a feature request through this page. 

I hope this answers your question.

Best,
Lawrence
