[monit] Regex match functionality.

[Dominic M]

I have monit scanning files that can possibly spew a bit of cruft, such as /var/log/messages

When something like tomcat gets bounced, it can add up to 30 lines of text on some of my servers. Monit is sending one alert per-line within the cycle duration. Is there a way for it to simply send one e-mail will all regexp matched or (or in the case of me using an exclude file) not matched. 

This is my conf:

check file messages with path /var/log/messages
   ignore match /etc/monit.d/messages.ignore.cfg
   if match .* then alert


I'm sure there has to be a way for it to just concatenate all matching lines and then send that off once per cycle?
