Sends a diagnostic interrupt to the specified Amazon EC2 instance to trigger a
kernel panic (on Linux instances), or a blue
screen/stop error (on Windows instances). For
instances based on Intel and AMD processors, the interrupt is received as a
non-maskable interrupt (NMI).
In general, the operating system crashes and reboots when a kernel panic or stop error
is triggered. The operating system can also be configured to perform diagnostic tasks,
such as generating a memory dump file, loading a secondary kernel, or obtaining a call
trace.
Before sending a diagnostic interrupt to your instance, ensure that its operating
system is configured to perform the required diagnostic tasks.
