It is possible to monitor output from a syslog identifier. In the example below syslog from the sshd daemon are logged tostdout 

root@h5:/etc/sshguard# journalctl -afb -p info -n1 -t sshd -o cat
Connection reset by 198.235.24.119 port 58836 [preauth]
pam_unix(sshd:auth): authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty=ssh ruser= rhost=127.0.0.1  user=root
Failed password for root from 127.0.0.1 port 45768 ssh2
Failed password for root from 127.0.0.1 port 45768 ssh2
Failed password for root from 127.0.0.1 port 45768 ssh2
Connection closed by authenticating user root 127.0.0.1 port 45768 [preauth]
