Hello Petra,

there is no native support for pausing monitoring for x seconds after some 
event occurred.

It is possible to wait for x errors before the event is triggered (i.e. require 
multiple occurrences of the problem) - i’m not sure if it corresponds your 
needs in this case, example usage:

        if match “my_string” for 2 cycles then exec “my_command”

=> the “my_string” pattern will have to occur in the file for two consecutive 
cycles before the “my_command” is executed.


If you need to execute the command on first error occurrence and pause the 
monitoring you’ll need to “unmonitor” the  service (“monit unmonitor 
system.log”) … you can call this from your exec action’s script - to enable the 
monitoring after x seconds, you’ll need to do “monit monitor system.log” - for 
example scheduling it from the same script using “at”. 


Regards,
Martin
