We have a logfile, example.log, which will contain lines with “ALERT: <something>”
which we want to trigger an alert. Yet, there are some sub-cases of “ALERT: <something>” where we only want to alert if they occur more than 3 times in 10 cycles, for example “ALERT: foo” How to only alert if X occurrences in Y cycles for certain specific matches, while still alerting for all more general matches that do not match any of the spefific matches? The following if content = "ALERT: foo" for 3 times within 10 cycles then alert if content = "ALERT: " then alert will generate an alert for any “ALERT: foo” entry, and using the “ignore” statement disables any matching for “ALERT: foo”, as all ignore statements are parsed before any if statements.
