UPLOAD_ON_TERMINATE

Matching files are uploaded once the simulation enters the TERMINATING state. Matching files are not uploaded until all of your code (including tools) have stopped.

If there is a problem uploading a file, the upload is retried. If problems persist, no further upload attempts will be made.

A Boolean indicating whether to use default upload configurations. By default, .ros and .gazebo files are uploaded when the application terminates and all ROS topics will be recorded.

If you set this value, you must specify an outputLocation .

Information about upload configurations for the simulation application.

(structure)

Provides upload configuration information. Files are uploaded from the simulation job to a location you specify.

name -> (string)

A prefix that specifies where files will be uploaded in Amazon S3. It is appended to the simulation output location to determine the final path.

For example, if your simulation output location is s3://amzn-s3-demo-bucket and your upload configuration name is robot-test , your files will be uploaded to s3://amzn-s3-demo-bucket/<simid>/<runid>/robot-test .

path -> (string)

Specifies the path of the file(s) to upload. Standard Unix glob matching rules are accepted, with the addition of ** as a super asterisk . For example, specifying /var/log/**.log causes all .log files in the /var/log directory tree to be collected. For more examples, see Glob Library .

uploadBehavior -> (string)

Specifies when to upload the files:

UPLOAD_ON_TERMINATE

Matching files are uploaded once the simulation enters the TERMINATING state. Matching files are not uploaded until all of your code (including tools) have stopped.

If there is a problem uploading a file, the upload is retried. If problems persist, no further upload attempts will be made.

UPLOAD_ROLLING_AUTO_REMOVE

Matching files are uploaded as they are created. They are deleted after they are uploaded. The specified path is checked every 5 seconds. A final check is made when all of your code (including tools) have stopped.
