# Configuring access logs
<a name="environments-cfg-loadbalancer-accesslogs"></a>

You can use [configuration files](ebextensions.md) to configure your environment's load balancer to upload access logs to an Amazon S3 bucket. See the following example configuration files on GitHub for instructions:
+ `[loadbalancer-accesslogs-existingbucket.config](https://github.com/awslabs/elastic-beanstalk-samples/blob/master/configuration-files/aws-provided/resource-configuration/loadbalancer-accesslogs-existingbucket.config)` – Configure the load balancer to upload access logs to an existing Amazon S3 bucket.
+ `[loadbalancer-accesslogs-newbucket.config](https://github.com/awslabs/elastic-beanstalk-samples/blob/master/configuration-files/aws-provided/resource-configuration/loadbalancer-accesslogs-newbucket.config)` – Configure the load balancer to upload access logs to a new bucket.
