Get Elastic BeanStalk Deployment process logs

I am currently working on Elastic Beanstalk hosted app which I have been manually making deployments to staging with the elbcli command below

eb deploy app-name

While this has been previously working well, my current deployment has been erroring out and I would like to view the deployment logs to figure out why this is happening. But all I can get from EB logs is this

AWS EB CLI LOG

Is there a better way for me to get a deeper dive into the deployment process such as the point at which packages are installed and the app started?

I have tried looking a few of the ebcli commands such as events and logs but all I get is vague results such as the one in the above image.

From the Elastic Beanstalk console you can click "Logs" from the left-hand side navigation, and click "Request Logs", and select either full logs, or the last 100 lines of the log. In either case, you want to look for the /var/log/eb-activity.log file, and it should contain some information about what the error was.

In these cases I often just find it easiest to ssh into the server and tail the log during the deploy so I can follow along and see where it gets stuck:

$ eb ssh my-environment
$ tail -f /var/log/eb-activity.log
