Step 2: Turn on logging (optional) - AWS SimSpace Weaver

End of support notice: On May 20, 2026, AWS will end support for AWS SimSpace Weaver. After May 20, 2026, you will no longer be able to access the SimSpace Weaver console or SimSpace Weaver resources. For more information, see AWS SimSpace Weaver end of support.

Step 2: Turn on logging (optional)

Logging is off by default for the PathfindingSample project. This tutorial assumes that logging is on. You can choose to turn on logging, but it is optional.

Important

The PathfindingSample generates large amounts of log data. If you choose to turn on logging, you will receive billing charges for the log data. You will continue to receive billing charges for the log data as long as it exists. We highly recommend that you stop this simulation and perform the cleanup steps at the end of the tutorial as soon as possible if you turn on logging.

To turn on logging

  1. Open the following file in a text editor:

    Docker

    project-folder\tools\project-name-schema.yaml

    Note

    Your project-folder is path\project-name using the values that you provided when you created the project.

    WSL
    Important

    We provide these instructions for your convenience. They are for use with Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL), and are unsupported. For more information, see Set up your local environment for SimSpace Weaver.

    project-folder/tools/project-name-schema.yaml

    Note

    Your project-folder is path/project-name using the values that you provided when you created the project.

  2. Find the simulation_properties: section at the beginning of the file:

    simulation_properties:
  default_entity_index_key_type: "Vector3<f32>"

  3. Insert the following 2 lines after the line simulation_properties::

      log_destination_service: "logs"
  log_destination_resource_name: "MySimulationLogs"

  4. Confirm that your simulation_properties: section is the same as the following:

    simulation_properties:
  log_destination_service: "logs"
  log_destination_resource_name: "MySimulationLogs"
  default_entity_index_key_type: "Vector3<f32>"

  5. Save the file and exit your text editor.
