# Track game server group instances
<a name="gsg-integrate-gameservergroup-track"></a>

After you create and deploy instances to your game server group and Auto Scaling group, you can track the status of game server instances by calling [DescribeGameServerInstances()](https://docs.amazonaws.cn/gamelift/latest/apireference/API_DescribeGameServerInstances.html). You can use this operation to track instance status.. For more information on game server group status, see [Life of a game server group](gsg-howitworks-lifecycle-gameservergroup.md). 

You can also use the [Amazon GameLift Servers console](https://console.amazonaws.cn/gamelift/), under **Game server groups**, to monitor the status of your game server groups.
