Unable to describe an instance group

I created an instance group based, but when i describe it using the following command, i get the following error:

gcloud compute instance-groups managed describe <instance-group-name> --region=us-central1


ERROR: (gcloud.compute.instance-groups.managed.describe) HTTPError 404: The resource 'projects/<project-name>/regions/us-central1/instanceGroupManagers/<instance-group-name>' was not found.

What am i missing here?

Hi @mountaincode2 ,

Welcome to Google Cloud Community!

Well, the command seems fine... I assume you or the service account you are using have a role with at least viewer capabilities for Compute Engine.

May I suggest to try with the beta command? Or throw it out without the flagging and be asked to input it again later on?
