Multiline Regular Expressions

Perl Compatible Regular Expressions (PCRE) provides the ability to match the text that appears on multiple lines. You can use this functionality by using the PCRE_MULTILINE (/m) or PCRE_DOTALL (/s) switch in the expression.

When either of these switches is detected in a Log File Monitor regular expression, the agent searches for the specified expression within the last 8 KB of the log file being monitored.
