About:
Multitail is a command-line utility that allows users to monitor multiple log files or command outputs simultaneously within a single terminal window. It supports colorization, filtering, and merging of logs, making it easier to correlate events across different services. This tool is particularly useful for developers and system administrators who need real-time visibility into multiple data streams.
Key Features:
  • Monitor multiple files in split-screen view
  • Colorize output based on patterns
  • Filter and search logs in real-time
  • Merge multiple logs into a single stream
  • Support for log rotation detection
Use Cases:
  • Monitoring multiple application logs simultaneously during debugging
  • Watching server logs and application output in production environments
Alternatives:
  • tail – Standard Unix tool, but only monitors single files without split-screen
  • tmux/screen – Terminal multiplexers that can run multiple tails but lack built-in filtering/colorization
