Multiple Host Logging [Multitail]

Install multitool via homebrew.

cf. vanheusden.com/multitail

Basic Logging

Logging stuff from multiple (2) hosts.

multitail -l 'ssh user@127.0.0.1 "tail -f /log/destination/*.log"' -l 'ssh user@127.0.0.1 "tail -f /log/destination/*.log"'

Searching Logs

Search a log using multitail by combining them and using the -E flag.

multitail -E 'SEARCH ITEM' --mergeall -l 'ssh user@127.0.0.1 "tail -f /log/destination/*.log"' -l 'ssh user@127.0.0.1 "tail -f /log/destination/*.log"'
