You can stream all sorts of data into (and out of) Apache Kafka using Kafka Connect, which is part of Apache Kafka. There's a list of connectors here, including log files and syslog.

The file connector does not handle rolling files (a common practice with log files) – PragmaticProgrammer Jan 05 '18 at 20:26
