export_stream_session_files#

GameLiftStreams.Client.export_stream_session_files(**kwargs)#

Export the files that your application modifies or generates in a stream session, which can help you debug or verify your application. When your application runs, it generates output files such as logs, diagnostic information, crash dumps, save files, user data, screenshots, and so on. The files can be defined by the engine or frameworks that your application uses, or information that you’ve programmed your application to output.

You can only call this action on a stream session that is in progress, specifically in one of the following statuses ACTIVE, CONNECTED, PENDING_CLIENT_RECONNECTION, and RECONNECTING. You must provide an Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) bucket to store the files in. When the session ends, Amazon GameLift Streams produces a compressed folder that contains all of the files and directories that were modified or created by the application during the stream session. AWS uses your security credentials to authenticate and authorize access to your Amazon S3 bucket.

Amazon GameLift Streams collects the following generated and modified files. Find them in the corresponding folders in the .zip archive.

  • application/: The folder where your application or game is stored.

  • profile/: The user profile folder.

  • temp/: The system temp folder.

To verify the status of the exported files, use GetStreamSession.

To delete the files, delete the object in the S3 bucket.

    An Amazon Resource Name (ARN) or ID that uniquely identifies the stream group resource. Format example: ARN- arn:aws:gameliftstreams:us-west-2:123456789012:streamgroup/1AB2C3De4 or ID- 1AB2C3De4.

  • OutputUri (string) –

    [REQUIRED]

    Example 1: If you provide an S3 URI called s3://MyBucket/MyGame_Session1.zip, then Amazon GameLift Streams will save the files at that location.

    Example 2: If you provide an S3 URI called s3://MyBucket/MyGameSessions_ExportedFiles/, then Amazon GameLift Streams will save the files at s3://MyBucket/MyGameSessions_ExportedFiles/YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS-appId-sg-Id-sessionId.zip or another similar name.
