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 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.
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
