update-game-session-queue¶

Description¶

Updates settings for a game session queue, which determines how new game session requests in the queue are processed. To update settings, specify the queue name to be updated and provide the new settings. When updating destinations, provide a complete list of destinations.

Synopsis¶

  update-game-session-queue
--name <value>
[--timeout-in-seconds <value>]
[--player-latency-policies <value>]
[--destinations <value>]
[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]

Options¶

--name (string)

A descriptive label that is associated with game session queue. Queue names must be unique within each Region. You can use either the queue ID or ARN value.

--timeout-in-seconds (integer)

The maximum time, in seconds, that a new game session placement request remains in the queue. When a request exceeds this time, the game session placement changes to a TIMED_OUT status.

--player-latency-policies (list)

A collection of latency policies to apply when processing game sessions placement requests with player latency information. Multiple policies are evaluated in order of the maximum latency value, starting with the lowest latency values. With just one policy, the policy is enforced at the start of the game session placement for the duration period. With multiple policies, each policy is enforced consecutively for its duration period. For example, a queue might enforce a 60-second policy followed by a 120-second policy, and then no policy for the remainder of the placement. When updating policies, provide a complete collection of policies.

(structure)

Queue setting that determines the highest latency allowed for individual players when placing a game session. When a latency policy is in force, a game session cannot be placed with any fleet in a Region where a player reports latency higher than the cap. Latency policies are only enforced when the placement request contains player latency information.

MaximumIndividualPlayerLatencyMilliseconds -> (integer)

The maximum latency value that is allowed for any player, in milliseconds. All policies must have a value set for this property.

PolicyDurationSeconds -> (integer)

The length of time, in seconds, that the policy is enforced while placing a new game session. A null value for this property means that the policy is enforced until the queue times out.

Shorthand Syntax:

MaximumIndividualPlayerLatencyMilliseconds=integer,PolicyDurationSeconds=integer ...

JSON Syntax:

[
  {
    "MaximumIndividualPlayerLatencyMilliseconds": integer,
    "PolicyDurationSeconds": integer
  }
  ...
]

--destinations (list)

A list of fleets that can be used to fulfill game session placement requests in the queue. Fleets are identified by either a fleet ARN or a fleet alias ARN. Destinations are listed in default preference order. When updating this list, provide a complete list of destinations.

(structure)

Fleet designated in a game session queue. Requests for new game sessions in the queue are fulfilled by starting a new game session on any destination that is configured for a queue.

DestinationArn -> (string)

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) that is assigned to fleet or fleet alias. ARNs, which include a fleet ID or alias ID and a Region name, provide a unique identifier across all Regions.

Shorthand Syntax:

DestinationArn=string ...

JSON Syntax:

[
  {
    "DestinationArn": "string"
  }
  ...
]

--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml (string) Reads arguments from the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, those values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally. This may not be specified along with --cli-input-yaml.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. Similarly, if provided yaml-input it will print a sample input YAML that can be used with --cli-input-yaml. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.

See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.

Examples¶

To update a game session queue configuration

The following update-game-session-queue example adds a new destination and updates the player latency policies for an existing game session queue.

aws gamelift update-game-session-queue \
    --name MegaFrogRace-NA \
    --destinations file://destinations.json \
    --player-latency-policies file://latency-policies.json

Contents of destinations.json:

{
    "Destinations": [
        {"DestinationArn": "arn:aws:gamelift:us-west-2::fleet/fleet-1a2b3c4d-5e6f-7a8b-9c0d-1e2f3a4b5c6d"},
        {"DestinationArn": "arn:aws:gamelift:us-east-1::fleet/fleet-5c6d3c4d-5e6f-7a8b-9c0d-1e2f3a4b5a2b"},
        {"DestinationArn": "arn:aws:gamelift:us-east-1::alias/alias-11aa22bb-3c4d-5e6f-000a-1111aaaa22bb"}
    ]
}

Contents of latency-policies.json:

{
    "PlayerLatencyPolicies": [
        {"MaximumIndividualPlayerLatencyMilliseconds": 200},
        {"MaximumIndividualPlayerLatencyMilliseconds": 150, "PolicyDurationSeconds": 120},
        {"MaximumIndividualPlayerLatencyMilliseconds": 100, "PolicyDurationSeconds": 120}
    ]
}

Output:

{
    "GameSessionQueue": {
        "Destinations": [
            {"DestinationArn": "arn:aws:gamelift:us-west-2::fleet/fleet-1a2b3c4d-5e6f-7a8b-9c0d-1e2f3a4b5c6d"},
            {"DestinationArn": "arn:aws:gamelift:us-east-1::fleet/fleet-5c6d3c4d-5e6f-7a8b-9c0d-1e2f3a4b5a2b"},

        ],
        "GameSessionQueueArn": "arn:aws:gamelift:us-west-2:111122223333:gamesessionqueue/MegaFrogRace-NA",
        "Name": "MegaFrogRace-NA",
        "TimeoutInSeconds": 600,
        "PlayerLatencyPolicies": [
            {"MaximumIndividualPlayerLatencyMilliseconds": 200},
            {"MaximumIndividualPlayerLatencyMilliseconds": 150, "PolicyDurationSeconds": 120},
            {"MaximumIndividualPlayerLatencyMilliseconds": 100, "PolicyDurationSeconds": 120}
        ]
    }
}
