#It looks like you're trying to use AWS Elastic Beanstalk to create a custom CloudWatch log group. To do this, you'll need to use an Elastic Beanstalk configuration file called logs.config to specify the settings for your log group.
#Here is an example logs.config file that you can use as a starting point:
files:
"/etc/awslogs/awscli.conf":
mode: "000600"
owner: root
group: root
content: |
[plugins]
cwlogs = cwlogs
[default]
region = `{"Ref":"AWS::Region"}`
"/etc/awslogs/config/logs.conf":
mode: "000600"
owner: root
group: root
content: |
[/var/log/celery_beat.stdout.log]
log_group_name = `{"Fn::Join":["/", ["/aws/elasticbeanstalk", { "Ref":"AWSEBEnvironmentName" }, "/var/log/celery_beat.stdout.log"]]}`
log_stream_name = {instance_id}
file = /var/log/celery_beat.stdout.log
[/var/log/celery_flower.stdout.log]
log_group_name = `{"Fn::Join":["/", ["/aws/elasticbeanstalk", { "Ref":"AWSEBEnvironmentName" }, "/var/log/celery_flower.stdout.log"]]}`
log_stream_name = {instance_id}
file = /var/log/celery_flower.stdout.log
[/var/log/celery_worker.stdout.log]
log_group_name = `{"Fn::Join":["/", ["/aws/elasticbeanstalk", { "Ref":"AWSEBEnvironmentName" }, "/var/log/celery_worker.stdout.log"]]}`
log_stream_name = {instance_id}
file = /var/log/celery_worker.stdout.log
commands:
"01":
command: systemctl enable awslogsd.service
"02":
command: systemctl restart awslogsd
#This configuration file will create a CloudWatch log group for each of the log files you specified (/var/log/celery_beat.stdout.log, /var/log/celery_flower.stdout.log, and /var/log/celery_worker.stdout.log). The log group will be named using the environment name of your Elastic Beanstalk environment.
#To use this configuration file, you'll need to save it as .ebextensions/logs.config in the root of your Elastic Beanstalk application source code. Then, when you deploy your application to Elastic Beanstalk, the log group will be created automatically.
#I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
I've detailed in a new [Medium blog][1] how this all works and an example .ebextensions file and where to put it.
Below is an excerpt that you might be able to use, though the article explains how to determine the right folder/file(s) to stream.
```
