AWS ElasticBeanstalk config for Logentries Agent

You can utilize Logentries Token-Based approach with Elastic Beanstalk applications.

First, create a host in your Logentries account. Next, add a logfile with the source type set to Token TCP. You will be given a Token UUID which represents that logfile.

In the root of your app’s directory, create the following hidden directory, .ebextensions and inside that logentriesBeanstalk.config. Edit the following portion of the logentriesBeanstalk.config file:

[Application name]
path = /path/to/log/file
token = MY_TOKEN

Or alternatively, the destination parameter can be used so that the log is created automatically in your account:

[Application name]
path = /path/to/log/file
destination = LogSet/Log

Repeat the above section for every file on your EB instances, that you wish to follow.

Please see the Logentries Agent documentation for more details on how to use the Agent configuration file.
