      Steps:
      Configure log item with some data:
      log[/tmp/file.txt]
      Start Zabbix server, make sure agent sync it
      Stop Zabbix server
      Add some more data to the log
      Listen with some other program on that port and
      For example:
      while true; do printf 'HTTP/1.1 200 OK\n\n%s' "test" | nc -l 10051; done

      Notice that data from log is sent every second:
