I don't know if it could be made with monolog, but IBM use this way to
notify an autononomic manager when an error occur in the environement.

IBM autonomic computing toolkit use a GLA ( generic log adapter
)component to transform a log file in a set of Generic Event ( XML ).
Then they send event to the autonomic manager. ( you can see this in a
demo about autonomic computing ( basic self-healing of a web application )).

An idea is to send event to a topic and subscribe your remote component
to the topic ( you can filter the level of the event ).
