Elastic Beanstalk with CloudWatch logs and Nginx

Question

I have activated the CloudWatch logs in my EBS Application. I have enabled like screenshot attached:

But when I look in awslogs.log, I can find all the time this error:

cwlogs.push.stream - WARNING - 3317 - Thread-1 - No file is found with given path '/var/log/httpd/error.log*'.
cwlogs.push.stream - WARNING - 3317 - Thread-1 - No file is found with given path '/var/log/httpd/access.log*'.

I don't know why, because httpd is a service from Apache, and I'm working with Nginx (with Node.js as origin).

How can I disable/remove this error?

Thanks.

Answer 1

This is happening because the awslogs application on your EC2 instance is looking for those files to send to the CloudWatch.

You can check and edit the configuration file located at:

/etc/awslogs/awslogs.conf

Make sure to restart the service:

sudo service awslogs restart

You can specify your own files there and create different groups and what not.
