Export a Dedicated Server Configuration​

Follow the steps below to export a Dedicated Server Configuration from your game namespace.

  1. In the Admin Portal, open the game namespace that contains the configuration you want to export. On the Server Configurations page, click the Export/Import button. Then, click Export.

  2. Your Server Configuration will be exported in a JSON file. Here is an example of the contents:

    {
        "namespace": "1",
        "createdAt": "2021-08-31T03:24:35Z",
        "updatedAt": "2021-08-31T03:24:35Z",
        "providers": [
            "aws"
        ],
        "port": 2,
        "protocol": "tcp",
        "creation_timeout": 120,
        "claim_timeout": 240,
        "session_timeout": 3600,
        "unreachable_timeout": 7200,
        "ports": {
            "customport1edit": 3,
            "customport2edit": 4
        },
        "default_version": "default",
        "pod_configs": [],
        "images": [],
        "deployments": []
    }
    IMPORTANT

    If you use our Matchmaking service, don't forget to also export your Matchmaking Configuration. You will need both configurations if you want to use them in a different game namespace.
