Good GUI monitor log for Mac?

I manage multiple servers (including VMs locally and externally), and I'm looking for an easy way to monitor logs and output...

I just randomly stumbled on Mac's "Console" program (I'm not sure how, it was just open; I'm new to Mac), and I like it's interface... I would like to have something like that for monitoring Linux webserver logs or processes etc...

I haven't found that Console works with external servers, but if you know how, please let me know, otherwise let me know a good program I can install or run to monitor external stuff easily (without requiring a bunch of command line stuff over and over and over like I'm having to do now).

So everyone just keeps flipping around terminals and ssh sessions and typing commands to view Linux logs on a Mac?

That's currently very time-consuming with multiple sites and I'm hoping someone in the Mac-loving land of web development has found something easier.

I know how to do this easily in Windows... not Mac yet.

If you have multiple servers and you want to monitor them, that's typically done through something like Nagios or Zabbix (among others), that are web-based, and highly extensible. Monitoring log files for errors/patterns is easily done, as well as checking services, disk space, CPU/memory/network load, etc.

When asking about a GUI monitor for Mac...not a lot of people on a Linux forum will read further, thinking you're asking about software for Mac OS.

There is no "easy"

You will need a virtualized host for the Ubuntu and a heavy understanding of Networking.
