How to monitor a file inside docker container

[ankitarath2011]

We have multiple docker containers and there are some logs (created by our application, same log gets updated) inside those containers.

We want to monitor those logs every 5 mins using Splunk UF which is outside the container. Splunk UF will send data to Splunk indexer in another server.

Can you please tell me options to do this.

Thank you @kiran_panchavat for your response. However, this may not be useful as we can not install Splunk inside the container. We are not monitoring the container itself or the docker logs. The logs that needs to be monitored are from some applications installed inside the container. As mentioned we have around 5-6 containters.
