describe-matchmaking-configurations is a paginated operation. Multiple API calls may be issued in order to retrieve the entire data set of results. You can disable pagination by providing the --no-paginate argument. When using --output text and the --query argument on a paginated response, the --query argument must extract data from the results of the following query expressions: Configurations

Synopsis

  describe-matchmaking-configurations
[--names <value>]
[--rule-set-name <value>]
[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]
[--starting-token <value>]
[--page-size <value>]
[--max-items <value>]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]

Options

--names (list)

A unique identifier for a matchmaking configuration(s) to retrieve. You can use either the configuration name or ARN value. To request all existing configurations, leave this parameter empty.

(string)

Syntax:

"string" "string" ...

--rule-set-name (string)

A unique identifier for a matchmaking rule set. You can use either the rule set name or ARN value. Use this parameter to retrieve all matchmaking configurations that use this rule set.

--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.

--starting-token (string)

A token to specify where to start paginating. This is the NextToken from a previously truncated response.

For usage examples, see Pagination in the AWS Command Line Interface User Guide .

--page-size (integer)

The size of each page to get in the AWS service call. This does not affect the number of items returned in the command’s output. Setting a smaller page size results in more calls to the AWS service, retrieving fewer items in each call. This can help prevent the AWS service calls from timing out.

For usage examples, see Pagination in the AWS Command Line Interface User Guide .

--max-items (integer)

The total number of items to return in the command’s output. If the total number of items available is more than the value specified, a NextToken is provided in the command’s output. To resume pagination, provide the NextToken value in the starting-token argument of a subsequent command. Do not use the NextToken response element directly outside of the AWS CLI.

For usage examples, see Pagination in the AWS Command Line Interface User Guide .

--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.

Output

Configurations -> (list)

A collection of requested matchmaking configurations.

(structure)

Guidelines for use with FlexMatch to match players into games. All matchmaking requests must specify a matchmaking configuration.

Name -> (string)

A unique identifier for a matchmaking configuration. This name is used to identify the configuration associated with a matchmaking request or ticket.

ConfigurationArn -> (string)

Amazon Resource Name (ARN ) that is assigned to a GameLift matchmaking configuration resource and uniquely identifies it. ARNs are unique across all Regions. In a GameLift configuration ARN, the resource ID matches the Name value.

Description -> (string)

A descriptive label that is associated with matchmaking configuration.

GameSessionQueueArns -> (list)

Amazon Resource Name (ARN ) that is assigned to a GameLift game session queue resource and uniquely identifies it. ARNs are unique across all Regions. Queues can be located in any Region. Queues are used to start new GameLift-hosted game sessions for matches that are created with this matchmaking configuration. Thais property is not set when FlexMatchMode is set to STANDALONE .

(string)

RequestTimeoutSeconds -> (integer)

The maximum duration, in seconds, that a matchmaking ticket can remain in process before timing out. Requests that fail due to timing out can be resubmitted as needed.

AcceptanceTimeoutSeconds -> (integer)

The length of time (in seconds) to wait for players to accept a proposed match, if acceptance is required. If any player rejects the match or fails to accept before the timeout, the tickets are returned to the ticket pool and continue to be evaluated for an acceptable match.

AcceptanceRequired -> (boolean)

A flag that indicates whether a match that was created with this configuration must be accepted by the matched players. To require acceptance, set to TRUE. When this option is enabled, matchmaking tickets use the status REQUIRES_ACCEPTANCE to indicate when a completed potential match is waiting for player acceptance.

RuleSetName -> (string)

A unique identifier for a matchmaking rule set to use with this configuration. A matchmaking configuration can only use rule sets that are defined in the same Region.

RuleSetArn -> (string)

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN ) associated with the GameLift matchmaking rule set resource that this configuration uses.

NotificationTarget -> (string)

An SNS topic ARN that is set up to receive matchmaking notifications.

AdditionalPlayerCount -> (integer)

The number of player slots in a match to keep open for future players. For example, assume that the configuration’s rule set specifies a match for a single 12-person team. If the additional player count is set to 2, only 10 players are initially selected for the match. This parameter is not used when FlexMatchMode is set to STANDALONE .

CustomEventData -> (string)

Information to attach to all events related to the matchmaking configuration.

CreationTime -> (timestamp)

The time stamp indicating when this data object was created. The format is a number expressed in Unix time as milliseconds (for example “1469498468.057”).

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 in the GameSession object with a request to start a new game session (see Start a Game Session ). This information is added to the new GameSession object that is created for a successful match. This parameter is not used when FlexMatchMode is set to STANDALONE .

(structure)

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 Amazon GameLift Developer Guide .

Key -> (string)

The game property identifier.

Value -> (string)

The game property value.

GameSessionData -> (string)

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 ). This information is added to the new GameSession object that is created for a successful match. This parameter is not used when FlexMatchMode is set to STANDALONE .

BackfillMode -> (string)

The method used to backfill game sessions created with this matchmaking configuration. MANUAL indicates that the game makes backfill requests or does not use the match backfill feature. AUTOMATIC indicates that GameLift creates StartMatchBackfill requests whenever a game session has one or more open slots. Learn more about manual and automatic backfill in Backfill Existing Games with FlexMatch . Automatic backfill is not available when FlexMatchMode is set to STANDALONE .

FlexMatchMode -> (string)

Indicates whether this matchmaking configuration is being used with GameLift hosting or as a standalone matchmaking solution.

• STANDALONE - FlexMatch forms matches and returns match information, including players and team assignments, in a MatchmakingSucceeded event.

• WITH_QUEUE - FlexMatch forms matches and uses the specified GameLift queue to start a game session for the match.

NextToken -> (string)

A token that indicates where to resume retrieving results on the next call to this operation. If no token is returned, these results represent the end of the list.
