I get no output in tmux, screen, or a normal shell.
Adding the -X flag to less gives me the desired output in all three.
-X or --no-init
Disables sending the termcap initialization and
deinitialization strings
to the terminal. This is sometimes desirable if the
deinitialization
string does something unnecessary, like clearing the screen.
You might also want to replace -E with -F
-F or --quit-if-one-screen
Causes less to automatically exit if the entire file can
be displayed on
the first screen.
When the output is over one screen, -E quits when you hit the end (like
more iirc),
but -F waits until you hit 'q'.
Using the Terminal app in MacOS Lion.

All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a
definitive record of customers, application performance, security
threats, fraudulent activity and more. Splunk takes this data and makes
sense of it. Business sense. IT sense. Common sense.
