I am trying to analyze some logs files generated on Linux and have noticed that it is very boring to understand where a line is starting/ending.
I wonder if there is some kind of command or tools for better viewing logs.
Example of boring log generated by Mysql, seen from the command line:
Someone knows to report some tool for better visualization/ monitoring of logs?

Actually parsing logs is a very boring task, but depending on the context Voce can use some tools such as pipe (|) followed by grep, for example, say you want to "inspect" syslog for events generated by the kdeconnect application, then go to the log directory and:
$ tail -n 30 syslog | grep kdeconnect

If you like something more GUI oriented, you can use multital. See screenshots.
Another good option (for Ubuntu users, it is already in the repositories), is glogg, see the screens.
