title: how to read spring application console logs from fluentd without writing into file
body: <p>we are using spring boot java application in our project, there is some log content is missing while writing the log data  into file, so  in place of writing the logs into fluentd we want to ship the logs that directly generating from the console while running application, currently we are using tail plugin in fluentd to ship the logs from file to kibana, is there any way  to collect directly  generated logs in console</p>
  <pre><code>&lt;source&gt;
  @type tail
  path /var/log/test.log
  pos_file /var/log/td-agent/testlog.pos
  tag apache.access
  &lt;parse&gt;
  @type json
  &lt;/parse&gt;
  </code></pre>
