Monit all files in directory

Question

Is there a possibility to run checks on all files in a directory with monit, Without mention every file in this directory by itself?

For example:

/etc/configurations-to-monitor/

config1

config2

config3

By now I use this in /etc/monit/conf.d/myconfigs:

check directory myconfigs path /etc/configurations-to-monitor/

if changed timestamp then alert

But there are some bypass possibilities to this construct. So I would like, to run timestamp and checksum-checks on this directory. The goal is to add more configurations to this directory, without touching the monit configuration again.

Thanks in advance

The solution for all missing features in monit is creating a script which will do the job and monit will just check its return code.

  Hello, using pattern for multiple files monitoring is not supported currently.
  We plan to add this feature.
