-ELB publishes a log file for each load balancer node at the interval you specify. You can specify a publishing interval of either 5 minutes or 60 minutes when you enable the access log for your load balancer. By default, ELB publishes logs at a 60-minute interval. If the interval is set for 5 minutes, the logs are published at 1:05, 1:10, 1:15, and so on. The start of log delivery is delayed up to 5 minutes if the interval is set to 5 minutes, and up to 15 minutes if the interval is set to 60 minutes. You can modify the publishing interval at any time.
