GameLift.Client.describe_game_session_placement(**kwargs)¶Retrieves information, including current status, about a game session placement request.
To get game session placement details, specify the placement ID.
This operation is not designed to be continually called to track game session status. This practice can cause you to exceed your API limit, which results in errors. Instead, you must configure configure an Amazon Simple Notification Service (SNS) topic to receive notifications from FlexMatch or queues. Continuously polling with DescribeGameSessionPlacement should only be used for games in development with low game session usage.

Response Structure
Object that describes the requested game session placement.
A unique identifier for a game session placement.
A descriptive label that is associated with game session queue. Queue names must be unique within each Region.
Current status of the game session placement request.
A set of custom properties for a game session, formatted as key:value pairs. These properties are passed to a game server process with a request to start a new game session (see Start a Game Session ).
Set of key-value pairs that contain information about a game session. When included in a game session request, these properties communicate details to be used when setting up the new game session. For example, a game property might specify a game mode, level, or map. Game properties are passed to the game server process when initiating a new game session. For more information, see the GameLift Developer Guide.
The game property identifier.
The game property value.
The maximum number of players that can be connected simultaneously to the game session.
A descriptive label that is associated with a game session. Session names do not need to be unique.
A unique identifier for the game session. This value is set once the new game session is placed (placement status is FULFILLED ).
Identifier for the game session created by this placement request. This value is set once the new game session is placed (placement status is FULFILLED ). This identifier is unique across all Regions. You can use this value as a GameSessionId value as needed.
Name of the Region where the game session created by this placement request is running. This value is set once the new game session is placed (placement status is FULFILLED ).
A set of values, expressed in milliseconds, that indicates the amount of latency that a player experiences when connected to Amazon Web Services Regions.
Regional latency information for a player, used when requesting a new game session. This value indicates the amount of time lag that exists when the player is connected to a fleet in the specified Region. The relative difference between a player's latency values for multiple Regions are used to determine which fleets are best suited to place a new game session for the player.
A unique identifier for a player associated with the latency data.
Name of the Region that is associated with the latency value.
Amount of time that represents the time lag experienced by the player when connected to the specified Region.
Time stamp indicating when this request was placed in the queue. Format is a number expressed in Unix time as milliseconds (for example "1469498468.057" ).
Time stamp indicating when this request was completed, canceled, or timed out.
The IP address of the game session. To connect to a GameLift game server, an app needs both the IP address and port number. This value is set once the new game session is placed (placement status is FULFILLED ).
The DNS identifier assigned to the instance that is running the game session. Values have the following format:
<unique identifier>.<region identifier>.amazongamelift.com .ec2-<unique identifier>.compute.amazonaws.com . (See Amazon EC2 Instance IP Addressing.)When connecting to a game session that is running on a TLS-enabled fleet, you must use the DNS name, not the IP address.
The port number for the game session. To connect to a GameLift game server, an app needs both the IP address and port number. This value is set once the new game session is placed (placement status is FULFILLED ).
A collection of information on player sessions created in response to the game session placement request. These player sessions are created only once a new game session is successfully placed (placement status is FULFILLED ). This information includes the player ID (as provided in the placement request) and the corresponding player session ID.
Information about a player session. This object contains only the player ID and player session ID. To retrieve full details on a player session, call DescribePlayerSessions with the player session ID.
A unique identifier for a player that is associated with this player session.
A unique identifier for a player session.
A set of custom game session properties, formatted as a single string value. This data is passed to a game server process in the GameSession object with a request to start a new game session (see Start a Game Session ).
Information on the matchmaking process for this game. Data is in JSON syntax, formatted as a string. It identifies the matchmaking configuration used to create the match, and contains data on all players assigned to the match, including player attributes and team assignments. For more details on matchmaker data, see Match Data.
