Hello,

if you need a custom script, you can use the "check program": 
https://mmonit.com/monit/documentation/monit.html#PROGRAM-STATUS-TESTING

We have fixed the send/expect to provide more details about the failed pattern 
(https://bitbucket.org/tildeslash/monit/issues/335/display-output-on-failed-match-of-expect).

You can run monit in debug mode (using -v option) or use wireshark/tcpdump to 
trace the communication.

Best regards,
Martin
