export-stream-session-files

Description

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.

Options

--identifier (string)

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/sg-1AB2C3De4 or ID-sg-1AB2C3De4 .

--output-uri (string)

The S3 bucket URI where Amazon GameLift Streams uploads the set of compressed exported files for this stream session. Amazon GameLift Streams generates a ZIP file name based on the stream session metadata. Alternatively, you can provide a custom file name with a .zip file extension.

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.

--stream-session-identifier (string)

An Amazon Resource Name (ARN) or ID that uniquely identifies the stream session resource. Format example: 1AB2C3De4 .

--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. The generated JSON skeleton is not stable between versions of the AWS CLI and there are no backwards compatibility guarantees in the JSON skeleton generated.

Global Options

--debug (boolean)

Turn on debug logging.

--endpoint-url (string)

Override command’s default URL with the given URL.

--no-verify-ssl (boolean)

By default, the AWS CLI uses SSL when communicating with AWS services. For each SSL connection, the AWS CLI will verify SSL certificates. This option overrides the default behavior of verifying SSL certificates.

--no-paginate (boolean)

Disable automatic pagination. If automatic pagination is disabled, the AWS CLI will only make one call, for the first page of results.

--output (string)

The formatting style for command output.

  • json
  • text
  • table
  • yaml
  • yaml-stream

--query (string)

A JMESPath query to use in filtering the response data.

--profile (string)

Use a specific profile from your credential file.

--region (string)

The region to use. Overrides config/env settings.

--version (string)

Display the version of this tool.

--color (string)

Turn on/off color output.

  • on
  • off
  • auto

--no-sign-request (boolean)

Do not sign requests. Credentials will not be loaded if this argument is provided.

--ca-bundle (string)

The CA certificate bundle to use when verifying SSL certificates. Overrides config/env settings.

--cli-read-timeout (int)

The maximum socket read time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket read will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

--cli-connect-timeout (int)

The maximum socket connect time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket connect will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

--cli-binary-format (string)

The formatting style to be used for binary blobs. The default format is base64. The base64 format expects binary blobs to be provided as a base64 encoded string. The raw-in-base64-out format preserves compatibility with AWS CLI V1 behavior and binary values must be passed literally. When providing contents from a file that map to a binary blob fileb:// will always be treated as binary and use the file contents directly regardless of the cli-binary-format setting. When using file:// the file contents will need to properly formatted for the configured cli-binary-format.

  • base64
  • raw-in-base64-out

--no-cli-pager (boolean)

Disable cli pager for output.

--cli-auto-prompt (boolean)

Automatically prompt for CLI input parameters.

--no-cli-auto-prompt (boolean)

Disable automatically prompt for CLI input parameters.

Output

None
