Cool. And not to take away from it all, but ...

You can do the same or better with multitail locally tailing a remote tail over ssh, and you get multitail's color schemes for various log types like mail or httpd.

    multitail -s 2 -sn 2,2 -C \
    -l "ssh -t xxx.yyy.zzz.123 tail -n 100 -f /var/log/nginx/a*" \
    -l "ssh -t xxx.yyy.zzz.123 tail -n 100 -f /var/log/nginx/e*" \
    -l "ssh -t xxx.yyy.zzz.123 tail -n 100 -f /var/log/uwsgi/*" \
    -l "ssh -t xxx.yyy.zzz.123 tail -n 100 -f /var/log/ufw.log"


That's pretty cool, hopefully we will have better support for multiple logs soon
