Description

I'm using multiple paramiko SSH clients each connected to different machines and each executing a long running program that prints regular updates.

I wish to have all these outputs simultaneously logged on the screen similar to the following:

[Host A - 00:01]: App starting up
[Host B - 00:01]: App starting up
[Host A - 00:03]: App finished initializing
[Host A - 00:04]: App received request
[Host B - 00:06]: App finished initializing
...

How could this be done?

Research direction

Start by reviewing Paramiko's SSH client and channel behavior for multiple connections running long-lived programs with regular output. Determine whether the requested simultaneous, host-labelled display is supported by Paramiko itself or requires application-level coordination. Done means documenting a concrete supported approach or clarifying the required library change.
