Oh yeah! lnav is famous. I remember using it like a decade ago to monitor an array of web servers while at GoDaddy; good ol' times. First commit is from Sep 13, 2009: https://github.com/tstack/lnav/commit/b4ec432515e95e86ec9d711833b8cb34d0912546 . Woah! we’re old. This is what the UX looked like back in the day: https://github.com/tstack/lnav/commit/bce2caa654160518ec11f603874e3fe105ab8992
