Re: Preventing emails floods from M/Monit

[Martin Pala]

Hello,

the content match test is individually applied to every new line which was 
added since last test. In the case that the line matches, the event is 
generated immediately => in the case that there are lets say 1000 matching 
lines, you will receive 1000 alerts. We will fix this - the content match test 
will send one alert per test per cycle.

Regards,
Martin
