GameLift Anywhere Fleet

Question

Good day,

I would like to ask how do I make gamesessions to run forever? Because when I deploy product to production and activate game sessions from ec2 servers using GameLift Anywhere service, it will last maximum only 3 days to be active after that they will be terminated automatically. Thank you very much in advance.

Accepted Answer

Hi Kasl,

Anywhere fleets are expected to stay alive until they emit a heartbeat back to GameLift. There isn't a deadline enforced. It's possible that the termination happened for reasons unrelated. Here are some suggestions to help identify what might be going on

1. Access the logs for the game session using [GetGameSessionLogUrl](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/gamelift/latest/apireference/API_GetGameSessionLogUrl.html) to see if you can identify anything weird that might be happening. 
2. If the logs are not available from the API, access them directly by remotely logging onto the instance. 
3. Review hardware metrics for the instance. It's possible that the host might be running out of CPU/Memory, resulting in abnormal behavior or terminations.

Thanks!
