Blade has put BLLogmonitor 2.0.14 in the updater. It handles regular expressions. I found this really useful to monitor the syslog output from my unifi access points. I can use it to monitor which phones are in my house, and which access points they are connected to.
It is useful to have regular expressions because the log I monitor has entries that include the date and firmware version number and those will be changing over time. Using regular expressions, I was able to ignore those figures in the log entries and focus on portions such as "associated" "disassociated" and the mac addresses of access points and of phones.
I found the following helpful for learning about how to use regular expressions:

And Blade pointed me to this site for testing regular expressions:

Thanks Blade!
