Yeah, tail -F is the way to go imo.

Also, if you are using a proper ssh client, opening a second ssh connection to manage the reacting to the log files is habit for me at this point. The only time I'm using tail -F is after a new configuration deployment. Otherwise, I'm looking at archival data in ELK.

Have you tried using screen[1]? Might make things a little easier than have two separate SSH connections.

Yes. I use it when I need to resume a SSH session. Given proper configuration, switching SSH tabs/connections is as easy as switching browser tabs...there is no real need for me to use screen for such a purpose.

Thank you for the suggestion tho. :)
