AWS Gamelift Fleet

Amazon GameLift is a fully managed service for deploying, operating, and scaling session-based multi-player game servers in the cloud.

Resource Information:

Type of Resource: Generic monitorable resource
Discovery type: AWS SDK discovery type
Discovery profile selection: Resource can be discovered by “GameLift Fleet” in the profiler
ResourceTag: AWS_GAMELIFT_FLEET
Resource Unique Identification: FleetId (fleet.fleetId())
Dependencies: GameLift Fleet may depend on builds, aliases, and VPC configurations

Amazon GameLift replaces the work required to host your own game servers, including:

Buying and setting up hardware.
Managing ongoing activity, security, storage, and performance tracking.

Auto-scaling capabilities reduces payment on resources that are needed, while ensuring that games are available for new players to join with minimal waiting.

Uploaded game servers are hosted on Amazon GameLift virtual computing resources, called instances. Hosting resources are set up by:

Creating a fleet of instances.
Deploying the instances to run the game server (a custom game server or configured real-time servers).

You can design a fleet to fit your game needs.

Use the AWS public cloud integration to discover and collect metrics against the AWS service.

Supported metrics

OpsRamp Metric	AWS Metric	Metric Display Name	Unit	Aggregation Type	Description
aws_gamelift_ActiveInstances	ActiveInstances	Active Instances	Count	Average	Instances with ACTIVE status, which means they are running active server processes. The count includes idle instances and those that are hosting one or more game sessions.
aws_gamelift_DesiredInstances	DesiredInstances	Desired Instances	Count	Average	Target number of active instances that Amazon GameLift Servers is working to maintain in the fleet. With automatic scaling, this value is determined based on the scaling policies currently in force.
aws_gamelift_IdleInstances	IdleInstances	Idle Instances	Count	Average	Active instances that are currently hosting zero (0) game sessions. This metric measures capacity that is available but unused. This metric can be used with automatic scaling.
aws_gamelift_MaxInstances	MaxInstances	Max Instances	Count	Average	Maximum number of instances that are allowed for the fleet. A fleet's instance maximum determines the capacity ceiling during manual or automatic scaling up.
aws_gamelift_MinInstances	MinInstances	Min Instances	Count	Average	Minimum number of instances allowed for the fleet. A fleet's instance minimum determines the capacity floor during manual or automatic scaling down.
aws_gamelift_PercentIdleInstances	PercentIdleInstances	Percent Idle Instances	Percent	Average	Percentage of all active instances that are idle (calculated as IdleInstances / ActiveInstances). This metric can be used for automatic scaling.
aws_gamelift_RecycledInstances	RecycledInstances	Recycled Instances	Count	Average	Number of spot instances that have been recycled and replaced. Amazon GameLift Servers recycles spot instances that are not currently hosting game sessions and have a high probability of interruption.
aws_gamelift_RecycledSpotInstances	RecycledSpotInstances	Recycled Spot Instances	Count	Average	Number of spot instances that have been recycled and replaced. Amazon GameLift Servers recycles spot instances that are not currently hosting game sessions and have a high probability of interruption.
aws_gamelift_InstanceSpotInterruptions	InstanceSpotInterruptions	Instance Spot Interruptions	Count	Average	Number of spot instances that have been interrupted.
aws_gamelift_CPUUtilization	CPUUtilization	CPU Utilization	Percent	Average	The percentage of physical CPU time that Amazon EC2 uses to run the instance, which includes time spent to run both the user code and Amazon EC2 code.
aws_gamelift_NetworkIn	NetworkIn	Network In	Bytes	Average	The number of bytes received on all network interfaces by the instance. This metric identifies the volume of incoming network traffic to an application on a single instance.
aws_gamelift_NetworkOut	NetworkOut	Network Out	Bytes	Average	The number of bytes sent out on all network interfaces by the instance. This metric identifies the volume of outgoing network traffic to an application on a single instance.
aws_gamelift_DiskReadBytes	DiskReadBytes	Disk Read Bytes	Bytes	Average	This metric is used to determine the volume of the data the application reads from the hard disk of the instance. You can use it to determine the speed of the application.
aws_gamelift_DiskWriteBytes	DiskWriteBytes	Disk Write Bytes	Bytes	Average	Bytes written to all instance store volumes available to the instance. This metric is used to determine the volume of the data the application writes onto the hard disk of the instance.
aws_gamelift_DiskReadOps	DiskReadOps	Disk Read Ops	Count	Average	Completed read operations from all instance store volumes available to the instance in a specified period of time.
aws_gamelift_DiskWriteOps	DiskWriteOps	Disk Write Ops	Count	Average	Completed write operations to all instance store volumes available to the instance in a specified period of time.
aws_gamelift_ActiveServerProcesses	ActiveServerProcesses	Active Server Processes	Count	Average	Server processes with ACTIVE status, which means they are running and able to host game sessions.
aws_gamelift_HealthyServerProcesses	HealthyServerProcesses	Healthy Server Processes	Count	Average	Active server processes that are reporting healthy. This metric is useful for tracking the overall health of the fleet's game servers.
