using 'check_log ' to find and not find

[Ryan Wilcox]

i have been looking around a bit, but haven't found anything. anyone
know if there is a version of check_log floating around that will allow
me to do a find and a not find?

for example:

grep "\[\s*ERROR\s*\]\s" | grep -v "test" foo.log


where i use check_log to find log entries with "[ERROR]" but ignore log
entries that have "[ERROR]" and "test" together in the same log entry.

i realize this is a hack... the real fix here is to change our
application logging. i don't have that luxury at this point
unfortunately.

thanks in advance for any thoughts/ideas.
