My VM becomes inaccessible

Good morning,

Every night my server becomes unreachable and I have to Reset it from the control panel, I can't even access it via SSH. Is it some problem with resources? It usually coincides when I have a lot of traffic (sometimes generated by Google and content indexing). Can the reboot be automated in these cases automatically?

Thanks so much for any help.

All the best,

J. Carlos Fernandez

Hi @jcarlosfern,

Welcome to the Google Cloud Community!

What is the machine image and location? When did this problem start? Did you make any changes to the server prior to this?

Kindly post more details regarding the issue including screenshots and error logs.

Here is the official documentation on how to troubleshoot Compute Engine issues. You can find different problem scenarios related to your VM - Troubleshooting creating and updating VMs.

Alternatively, you can consider recreating your workload into another instance.

Thank you.
