Hello,
this is possible and can be implemented. In particular,
it is possible to have a process to watch the event log
and receive asynchronous notifications (no bussy waiting
or pulling) when the event log changes. Unfortunately,
I haven't seen any tool which could do it.
But anyway, it's possible.
