I need to monitor access log in a separated application, to identify frequent

Now I'm using apache httpd. CustomLog directive of httpd (equivalent to
access_log directive in Ngnix) supports write log lines to the stdin of a piped
application.
Quote from http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_log_config.html
Syntax: CustomLog file|pipe format|nickname environment-variable]
pipe
The pipe character "|", followed by the path to a program to receive the log
information on its standard input.
Will Ngnix support this feature? Or is there any solution to monitor every log
line of access_log?
You might consider using a different syslogd such as metalog which
supports event handling and see if you can get this patch to work
(apparently it's widely used, so I have some faith in its stability):
