log permissions

Is there a way to tell hobbit to use sudo to read a log file?

I want to monitor a log file owned by root, rw for root, nothing for anyone else.  It is owned by an application that rolls it and resets permissions.  I don't want to mess with the app.

I can write a cron job to check and set permissions, but that is not ideal.

Thanks
