Web monitoring, check result page

[hardtofi]

Hi

I've set up a web monitor (after a recompile with WEB Monitoring on, the GUI didn't warn me about that when creating a monitor without actually having support for it) and it works fine.

The page I want to monitor has to have this string in it <strong>(\d{4,*})<\/strong>. The number here must be above 5000, is there any way I can check the value of the number or will I have to hack up some script checking the actual value?

I still haven't figured out a way of doing this from the "Web monitoring". Isn't it possible?

The closest I've come is setting required to "my number=[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]*" assuring me it's at least 1000, but I really need it to be more exact.

As far as I recall extended posix regexes are used, so then the following should work:

([1-9][0-9]+)|([5-9])[0-9][0-9][0-9]

BTW, regexes in zabbix have a nasty undocumented feature: They are compiled with a flag that causes new lines to be treated NOT as regular characters. So, essentially, the expression ".*" does not match a new line.

In my opinion, this is very counterintuitive and should be fixed. I even made a patch:
