My personal go-to for intelligently tailing files is lnav (https://github.com/tstack/lnav) tho it has crashed a couple of times for me when applying a bunch of filters, etc.

Is anyone aware of any other comparable shell tool for tailing a set of logs?

Sorry for the crashes, have you sent the crash logs to support@lnav.org or opened an issue on https://github.com/tstack/lnav/issues ? I try to take a look at crash reports, but I’m not always able to figure out the issue from just the logs. If you have some time to spare in replicating the problem, I can take a deeper look.

I do try to submit the logs when I can. tbh, it takes a combination of (In/Out) text filters along with some navigation to trigger the failures. If I re-encounter, I will try to spend some time to reproduce.

You can find the last failure I submitted here[0].

+1. I miss it dearly, but unfortunately couldn't make the various AWS log shapes work as nicely as the Java ones did.
