htop and multitail are always tied for me.

  https://linux.die.net/man/1/multitail https://linux.die.net/man/1/multitail I never heard of this one before. What's the benefit instead of doing this with Tmux?

    Biggest thing is if you’re doing a streaming tail with an * pattern, it figures it out and filters them into proper groups instead of a single blob stream. I didn’t know you could something like that we tmux though. I’ll have to check it out. :)

      You can't, I was just talking about tailing multiple files in Tmux splits.

  > multitail You just made my day. I always open multiple ssh sessions just to display various logs at the same time. Seems like you can even docker-compose logs -tf | multitail -j. edit: I never took the time to learn tmux but after just watching a use case video, seems like you could achieve the same result with tmux indeed, as the other comment suggested.

    tmux or gnu screen work fine (screen is sometimes installed when tmux is not)

    If you're open to new tools, the latest version of the Logfile Navigator (lnav) supports remote hosts over ssh: https://lnav.org/2021/05/03/tailing-remote-files.html https://lnav.org/2021/05/03/tailing-remote-files.html The main advantages of lnav over multitail is that it collates log files by time and does syntax highlighting. There are many other features as well -- https://lnav.org/features https://lnav.org/features
