Logging Limitations

Limits for game server logging apply both per game server and globally. Exceeding the limits will cause log lines to be dropped. Burst amounts allow for temporarily exceeding rate limits, for example if the logging frequency is higher during start up.

Log Throughput per Game Server

• Limit: 100 lines per second per game server (with a burst size of 500 lines)
• Description: If a game server exceeds this logging rate, additional log lines may be dropped.

Global Log Throughput

• Limit: 10 megabytes per second globally (with a burst size of 50 megabytes)
• Description: If your aggregated log stream exceeds this rate, additional log lines may be dropped.
