Monit cannot distinguish the individual timestamps for "changed timestamp" of a file.

[Tildeslash]

Currently monit cannot distinguish the individual timestamps for "changed timestamp" of a file. I found out that our backup software changes the "ctime" of /etc/passwd if that file was backed up (probably because the software tried to reset the atime stamp). Thus I get "/etc/passwd changed" every time the file was backed up.

Wouldn't it be nice to allow individual test for each timestamp? On Linux I have: stat /etc/passwd

 File: `/etc/passwd'
 Size: 1513            Blocks: 8          IO Block: 4096   regular file

In a later version we'll add support for this using e.g. if changed ctime, if changed atime and if changed mtime

putting on hold, will activate the issue when added to the plan for specific Monit version
