Add and configure a Log Analysis (Appended) service

The Log Analysis (Appended) is an agent-based service and works only on log files that are located on a file system that is local to the agent. It enables you to monitor text that an application, such as a web server or a firewall, writes to its log file. During the monitoring process, the service executes a check on the log file at regular intervals, and it scans logged lines that were added to the file since its last execution.
