Options

--identifier (string) [required]

An Amazon Resource Name (ARN) or ID that uniquely identifies the stream group resource. Example ARN: arn:aws:gameliftstreams:us-west-2:111122223333:streamgroup/sg-1AB2C3De4 . Example ID: sg-1AB2C3De4 .

This is the stream group that owns the stream URL.

Constraints:

  • min: 1
  • max: 128
  • pattern: (^[a-zA-Z0-9-]+$)|(^arn:aws:gameliftstreams:([^: ]*):([0-9]{12}):([^: ]*)$)

--stream-url-identifier (string) [required]

The unique identifier of the stream URL. Specify a stream URL ID or Amazon Resource Name (ARN). Example ARN: arn:aws:gameliftstreams:us-west-2:111122223333:streamurl/sg-1AB2C3De4/su-1AB2C3De4 . Example ID: su-1AB2C3De4 .

Constraints:

  • min: 1
  • max: 128
  • pattern: (^[a-zA-Z0-9-]+$)|(^arn:aws:gameliftstreams:([^: ]*):([0-9]{12}):([^: ]*)$)

--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
  • off

--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.

--cli-error-format (string)

The formatting style for error output. By default, errors are displayed in enhanced format.

  • legacy
  • json
  • yaml
  • text
  • table
  • enhanced

Status -> (string)

The current status of the stream session resource.

A client has ConnectionTimeoutSeconds (specified in StartStreamSession ) from when the session reaches PENDING_CLIENT_RECONNECTION state to re-establish a connection. If no client connects within this timeframe, the session automatically terminates.

StatusReason -> (string)

ERROR status reasons:
  • applicationLogS3DestinationError : Could not write the application log to the Amazon S3 bucket that is configured for the streaming application. Make sure the bucket still exists.
  • internalError : An internal service error occurred. Start a new stream session to continue streaming.
  • invalidSignalRequest : The WebRTC signal request that was sent is not valid. When starting or reconnecting to a stream session, use generateSignalRequest in the Amazon GameLift Streams Web SDK to generate a new signal request.
  • placementTimeout : Amazon GameLift Streams could not find available stream capacity to start a stream session. Increase the stream capacity in the stream group or wait until capacity becomes available.
TERMINATED status reasons:
  • apiTerminated : The stream session was terminated by an API call to TerminateStreamSession .
  • applicationExit : The streaming application exited or crashed. The stream session was terminated because the application is no longer running.
  • connectionTimeout : The stream session was terminated because the client failed to connect within the connection timeout period specified by ConnectionTimeoutSeconds .
  • maxSessionLengthTimeout : The stream session was terminated because it exceeded the maximum session length timeout period specified by SessionLengthSeconds .
  • reconnectionTimeout : The stream session was terminated because the client failed to reconnect within the reconnection timeout period specified by ConnectionTimeoutSeconds after losing connection.

Possible values:

  • internalError
  • invalidSignalRequest
