<br>I've been trying to setup the check_logfiles plugin to check for a pattern like this: where someone attempted to login to one of my applications several times within milliseconds. is there a way that I can configure the nagios check_logfiles plugin to parse multiple login attempts as shown below within seconds and send me an alert? of would it be better to write a custom script to do that?<br>
