So many Integrity related Notice in the logs GCP compute

[srvelectronics]

Hello Everyone, 

This morning I got thousands of notice logs as shown below :

jsonPayload: {
@type: "type.googleapis.com/cloud_integrity.IntegrityEvent"
bootCounter: "38826"
startupEvent: {0}

logName: "projects/xxxx/logs/compute.googleapis.com%2Fshielded_vm_integrity"

Also Instance was not starting up. it was showing as running in console however I was not able to ping it or RDP it. 

Solution/Workaround that helped: I disabled vTPM and integrity monitor then tried starting the instance and it worked.

Can anyone please explain why there was so many notice incidents shown in the logs?

Thanks

Sourabh

You might need to identify the cause of an integrity validation failure and update the integrity policy baseline.
