I have a log file which is populated on a Linux system (for which sudo privileges are available). The log file is populated automatically and erratically with either one event per write or numerous events per write. I need to be able to extract each event individually after it has been written to the log file. This is the problem at hand. (The event is then sent to a Kibana server, one-at-a-time, where it can be collected and analyzed).



What's the best way to monitor and extract from an actively running log file? I understand that a systemd service may have to be created to accomplish the monitoring of the active file.
