Django Logging with Elastic Beanstalk (AWS)

Question

I am deploying a web service built on Django/Python at AWS using Elastic Beanstalk. I am using Django's logging feature to log website use and related data. While that worked fine with local testing, I an unable to get this to work with Beanstalk.

My code to log in settings.py is:

# Django Logging

LOGGING = {
    'version': 1,
    'disable_existing_loggers': False,
    'formatters': {
        'verbose': {
            'format' : "[%(asctime)s] %(levelname)s [%(name)s:%(lineno)s] %(message)s",
            'datefmt' : "%d/%b/%Y %H:%M:%S"
        },
        'simple': {
        'format': '%(levelname)s %(message)s'
        },
    },
    'handlers': {
        'file': {
            'level': 'DEBUG',
            'class': 'logging.FileHandler',
            'filename': 'spareguru.log',
            'formatter': 'verbose'
        },
    },
    'loggers': {
        'django': {
            'handlers':['file'],
            'propagate': True,
            'level':'DEBUG',
         },
        'customer': {
            'handlers': ['file'],
            'level': 'DEBUG',
         },
    }
}

The error I get while deploying to Beanstalk is:

ValueError: Unable to configure handler 'file': [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/opt/python/bundle/3/app/spareguru.log'

I also tried creating a file using .ebextensions and making wsgi the owner of that file but that didn't work either.

How can I fix this?

You do not have sufficient rights on the server for create log file. Сonfigure SSH and using CHMOD to change permission for folder

Configure the environment of your Elastic Beanstalk Application (for SSH) - enter link description here
