Hi.

I need to continuously read events from log file which is UTF-16 encoded.

Is any way to convert collected data to UTF-8?

Before that I used File System Collector which could use "Custom Command" option. Using "/usr/bin/iconv -f UTF16BE -t UTF8" solves the problem. But there is no such option for "File Monitor" source.
