How to "log" in Amazon Beanstalk?

Question

I've deployed an application and enabled cloudwatch. The issue is that stderr from the application running is not displayed in cloudwatch? How am I supposed to view the logs generated by my app? All I see are the logs from the builder and nginx/proxy in front of my app.

/aws/elasticbeanstalk/Default-Environment/var/log/eb-activity.log
/aws/elasticbeanstalk/Default-Environment/var/log/nginx/access.log
/aws/elasticbeanstalk/Default-Environment/var/log/nginx/error.log

Go logging is broken on beanstalk. THat's because cloudwatch doesn't collect the web logs (i.e. web-1.error.log) . You can see it on aws docs...it collects only the ebl and nginx/proxy logs. As this great cloud is not open source nobody but Amazon can ever fix it(if they decide to do so).
