I run a script tailing a log in a remote server, like so:
ssh userx@someip tail -f /data/current.log|python2.7 monitorlog.py
There are dependencies and service requirements that disallows me to run the script off the remote server. (DB, ACLs, and path to another service is uses)
Is there a way I can tail and monitor a log without using the ssh userx@someip? I thought about generating RSA keys but I think you still need a user to ssh.

Not really a programming question, but no, there is no way to view a log file on a server without logging in somehow, or implementing some other such remote access technique. You can possibly set up something to stream the data over TCP or UDP to some other known address, but you will have to have login access somehow.

You can usenetcator offer the logfile in a nfs share and mount it.

can't syslog do what you want ? It can export and then collect on a central server, on which you can run your python script.

With ssh you always need a user to connect to a server or simply execute a command. You can juste tail your log file with netcat and get a netcat client to connect to it from a remote machine. But this can be a problem for the security. Or simply create a user who can juste read the logs.
