+Amazon GameLift Streams provides the following tools for monitoring and debugging your streams:
+
+  * CloudTrail integration – Track API calls for auditing and operational troubleshooting. For more information, see [Logging Amazon GameLift Streams API calls using AWS CloudTrail](./logging-using-cloudtrail.html).
+
+  * CloudWatch metrics – Monitor stream group capacity, usage, and resource utilization. For more information, see [Monitor Amazon GameLift Streams with Amazon CloudWatch](./monitoring-cloudwatch.html).
+
+  * Application logging – Capture application logs during stream sessions. Configure logging through the [CreateApplication](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/gameliftstreams/latest/apireference/API_CreateApplication.html) API.
+
+  * Stream session file exports – Download session artifacts for post-session analysis. For more information, see [Export stream session files](./stream-sessions-export-files.html).
+
+  * Real-time performance stats – View live application-level and system-level resource usage during active sessions. For more information, see [Real-time performance stats](./realtime-performance-stats.html).
+
+  * Admin shell terminal connections – Connect to the live runtime environment of an active session for real-time debugging. For more information, see [Stream session admin shell](./troubleshoot-admin-shell-guide.html).

+Gamepad input on the Ubuntu 22.04 LTS runtime environment is supported for applications that use the Simple DirectMedia Layer (SDL) libraries. If your application uses other input libraries, gamepad functionality might not work. If you experience issues, consider using a Proton or Windows runtime environment instead.
