What have you guys done for server logs in EB? The system they seem to have in place is god awful. Even through their CLI, it seems to have to make a request and load about 100 lines from the tail of the server logs.

You can send the logs to CloudWatch Logs, then into Amazon's hosted ElasticSearch service:

Use an external logging service. You can run your own if you like, but there are plenty of people that offer pretty good services for not much- assuming you're not generating more than a GB or 2 a day.

I have personal experience with Papertrail and Loggly, which is quite nice if you want to build derivative data.

Yes, it isn't great .. you ship the logs to a bucket or you use an external service. We ended up doing both.
