GameServer

This data type is used with the Amazon GameLift FleetIQ and game server groups.

Properties describing a game server that is running on an instance in a game server group.

A game server is created by a successful call to RegisterGameServer and deleted by calling DeregisterGameServer. A game server is claimed to host a game session by calling ClaimGameServer.

Note

In the following list, the required parameters are described first.

ClaimStatus

Indicates when an available game server has been reserved for gameplay but has not yet started hosting a game. Once it is claimed, the game server remains in CLAIMED status for a maximum of one minute. During this time, game clients connect to the game server to start the game and trigger the game server to update its utilization status. After one minute, the game server claim status reverts to null.

LastHealthCheckTime

Timestamp that indicates the last time the game server was updated with health status. The format is a number expressed in Unix time as milliseconds (for example "1469498468.057").
