How to set up Splunk Cloud to run on AWS Elastic Beanstalk?

[clearslide_cwon]

we're trying to get splunk (clound) running on AWS Elastic Beanstalk.

I've added the environment variables:

APPLICATION_NAME = MyJavaApp-EB
SPLUNK_FORWARDER_RPM_DOWNLOAD_URL = https://download.splunk.com/products/splunk/releases/6.2.2/universalforwarder/linux/splunkforwarder-...
SPLUNK_SERVER_HOST = our.splunk.cloud.hostname.cloud.splunk.com

Looking at the script from http://tech.smartling.com/logs-collection-from-aws-elasticbeanstalk-splunk/, it doesn't let me execute the following command (from Splunk Cloud install instructions):

/opt/splunkforwarder/bin/splunk install app /opt/splunkclouduf.spl -auth admin:changeme

which the splunkclouduf.spl containing the certs/info/etc.

Does that mean we will have to add the .spl into the .ebextensions directory and include that into the zip file and call that command from the 101splunk-fowarder.config file?

Use S3 to store your .spl file.
