Re: Single email from multiple related content matches

[address@hidden]

Hi,

which Monit version it is? (monit -V)

The Monit 5.4 or later should send only one email if the pattern matches 
multiple times in one cycle, changelog excerpt:

--8<--
* The content match test now sends one event per cycle and pattern.
  Even if there are multiple lines matching the same pattern, only
  one event will be generated. Also the event rate is fixed now, so
  it is possible to require match for X cycles before generating the
  event.
--8<--

If you have different patterns/tests, then Monit will send one email per test. 
The emails can be aggregated for example using M/Monit, which can collect 
events from Monit agents and aggregate: https://mmonit.com


Best regards,
Martin
