For the best user experience, we recommend logging into the LogDNA web app and following the account-tailored add log source instructions. You may also follow the more generic instructions below

Copy the configuration below into a .conf file in your Elastic Beanstalk app's .ebextensions directory. 

files:
  "/home/ec2-user/logdna.sh" :
    mode: "000777"
    owner: root
    group: root
    content: |
      #!/bin/sh
      echo "[logdna]
      name=LogDNA packages
      baseurl=http://repo.logdna.com/el6/
      enabled=1
      gpgcheck=0" | tee /etc/yum.repos.d/logdna.repo
      yum -y install logdna-agent
      logdna-agent -k INSERT-YOUR-INGESTION-KEY-HERE
      # The LogDNA agent recursively monitors the /var/log directory by default
      # To optionally specify additional directories, modify and uncomment the line below:
      #logdna-agent -d /home/myhome/myapp/,/var/myapplogs/
      chkconfig logdna-agent on
      service logdna-agent start
commands:
  logdna:
    command: "/home/ec2-user/logdna.sh"

Before redeploying your Elastic Beanstalk app, be sure to insert your LogDNA Ingestion Key and specify any custom directories you want the LogDNA agent to monitor.
