Re: Preventing emails floods from M/Monit

[Nick Upson]

Hi,

In the same area, I would like to be able to have all (matching) changes in one email, 

at the moment I monitor a logfile that rarely gets anything written but when it does it writes 4 lines of output which I get at one line per email at the moment as I not been able to find a way to have them all in one email

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
