Response Structure
(dict) --
GameSession (dict) --
The updated game session properties.
GameSessionId (string) --
A unique identifier for the game session. A game session ARN has the following format: arn:aws:gamelift:<region>::gamesession/<fleet ID>/<custom ID string or idempotency token> .
Name (string) --
A descriptive label that is associated with a game session. Session names do not need to be unique.
FleetId (string) --
A unique identifier for the fleet that the game session is running on.
FleetArn (string) --
The Amazon Resource Name ( ARN ) associated with the GameLift fleet that this game session is running on.
CreationTime (datetime) --
A time stamp indicating when this data object was created. Format is a number expressed in Unix time as milliseconds (for example "1469498468.057" ).
TerminationTime (datetime) --
A time stamp indicating when this data object was terminated. Format is a number expressed in Unix time as milliseconds (for example "1469498468.057" ).
CurrentPlayerSessionCount (integer) --
Number of players currently in the game session.
MaximumPlayerSessionCount (integer) --
The maximum number of players that can be connected simultaneously to the game session.
Status (string) --
Current status of the game session. A game session must have an ACTIVE status to have player sessions.
StatusReason (string) --
Provides additional information about game session status. INTERRUPTED indicates that the game session was hosted on a spot instance that was reclaimed, causing the active game session to be terminated.
GameProperties (list) --
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 ).
(dict) --
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.
Key (string) --
The game property identifier.
Value (string) --
The game property value.
IpAddress (string) --
The IP address of the game session. To connect to a GameLift game server, an app needs both the IP address and port number.
DnsName (string) --
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.
Port (integer) --
The port number for the game session. To connect to a GameLift game server, an app needs both the IP address and port number.
PlayerSessionCreationPolicy (string) --
Indicates whether or not the game session is accepting new players.
CreatorId (string) --
A unique identifier for a player. This ID is used to enforce a resource protection policy (if one exists), that limits the number of game sessions a player can create.
GameSessionData (string) --
A set of custom game session properties, formatted as a single string value. This data is passed to a game server process with a request to start a new game session (see Start a Game Session ).
MatchmakerData (string) --
Information about the matchmaking process that was used to create the game session. It is in JSON syntax, formatted as a string. In addition the matchmaking configuration used, it contains data on all players assigned to the match, including player attributes and team assignments. For more details on matchmaker data, see Match Data. Matchmaker data is useful when requesting match backfills, and is updated whenever new players are added during a successful backfill (see StartMatchBackfill ).
Location (string) --
The fleet location where the game session is running. This value might specify the fleet's home Region or a remote location. Location is expressed as an Amazon Web Services Region code such as us-west-2 .
