I tired to run the command on GCP Shell " systemctl status cis-level1" to check the complaince status of my GCP enviornment with CIS benchmark and got the error in screenshot ![System has not been booted with systemd as init system (PID 1). Can't operate.Failed to connect to bus: Host is down(https://i.stack.imgur.com/EJhPY.png)

I want to regularly check my GCP enviornment with CIS policies, like in interval of 1/2 hours

Google Cloud Shell is a container. Use CIS tools designed for containers and not operating systems.

However, I do not recommend checking your container every 30 minutes. Cloud Shell is a developer tool. Prolonged usage is not recommended and has a weekly Cloud Code quota is 50 hours. Only use Cloud Shell for interactive activity.

Cloud Code is intended for interactive use only. Non-interactive sessions are ended automatically after one hour. Cloud Code sessions are capped at 12 hours, after which sessions automatically terminate.

My suggestion is to manually run your CIS tests when required, but do not schedule them.

Cloud Code for Cloud Shell limitations and restrictions
