Hi
I keep on having this error and I can't find how to fix it:

If anyone has any idea, that would be appreciated. Thanks in advance

Have same issue, its because the .ebextension 02_logs_cloudwatch_imds2.config isn't creating the file:
/opt/aws/amazon-cloudwatch-agent/etc/amazon-cloudwatch-agent.d/laravel_logs.json or is creating it and getting deleted after deploy
If I create the file manually it works
