Could you recommend a GUI application with powerful log watching capabilities?
Generally it would work as tail -f in GUI, but on top of that following features would be very useful:
- filtering out some lines based on (regular) expressions
- coloring some lines based on (regular) expressions
- interactive search
- saveable configuration easily applicable to different files
- notifications based on (regular) expressions
A similar tool on Windows is BareTail and its paid version - BareTailPro

I've discovered glogg, which describes itself as:
glogg is a multi-platform GUI application to browse and search through long or complex log files. It is designed with programmers and system administrators in mind. glogg can be seen as a graphical, interactive combination of grep and less.
It will also tail files if you enable the Follow File option.
Just search Ubuntu's Software Center!
Installation through command line:
sudo apt-get install gloggMultitail is what you searching for:
it has tons of features. look here for some screenshots.
Also have a look at this question over there at serverfault.com
2Some options are: Swatch and KSystemLog
There's a log viewer built into Ubuntu, which can also open any log file, called System Log.
and there is lnav with colored logs and search from terminal.
There is also opentail:
This is a really nice tailer with a lot of functions
I am using Follow
simple portable java application, you can follow multiple files and drap & drop them.
After desperately searching, then trying out lnav and many other log viewers for the macOS, I finally found the most powerful solution with least things to learn:
Microsoft Excel!
- Create a blank sheet
- Import your log file as text data and select delimiter accordingly
...Now you have all the super powers of tabular data manipulation!
