Sorry for th slow answer, I’ve been away. There is a way, if it’s still useful to you:

First, create a named fifo, you only need to do this once:

<span style="color:#323232;">mkfifo logview
</span>

Run your rsync in one pane, with a filtered view in the second:

<span style="color:#323232;">tmux new 'rsync ...options... |& tee logview' ; split-window -h 'grep "denied" logview'
</span>

Replace …options… with your normal rsync command line.

That should give you a split view, with all the normal messages on the left, and only messages containing ‘denied’ on the right.

The |& makes sure we capture both stdout and stderr, tee then writes them to the fifo and displays them. split-window tells tmux to create a second pane, and display the output of grep.
