AWS Elastic BeanStalk: Add custom logs to CloudWatch

Question

How can add custom logs to CloudWatch?

I have the default logs like this:

/aws/elasticbeanstalk/InstanceName/var/log/eb-activity.log

And I already added a file, 

files:

  "/opt/elasticbeanstalk/tasks/bundlelogs.d/applogs.conf" :

    mode: "000755"

    owner: root

    group: root

    content: |

      /var/app/current/logs/*

  "/opt/elasticbeanstalk/tasks/taillogs.d/cloud-init.conf" :

    mode: "000755"

    owner: root

    group: root

    content: |

      /var/app/current/logs/*

To extend the log you need to add another configuration under "/etc/awslogs/config/"

Providing the sample file below can take reference from,

files:

  "/etc/awslogs/config/my_app_log.conf" :

    mode: "000600"

    owner: root

    group: root

    content: |

      [/var/app/current/logs/xxx.log]

      log_group_name = `{"Fn::Join":["/", ["/aws/elasticbeanstalk", { "Ref":"AWSEBEnvironmentName" }, "var/app/current/logs/xxx.log"]]}`

      log_stream_name = {instance_id}

      file = /var/app/current/logs/xxx.log*
