[rancid] How to ignore certain output?

[Matt Almgren]

I should add, that I did modify f5rancid a while back based on a suggestion from this list, but that doesn't seem to be working:

sub WriteTermTMSH {
    my($lines) = 0;
    print STDERR "    In WriteTerm: $_" if ($debug);

    while (<INPUT>) {
        tr/\015//d;
        next if (/^\s*$/);

        s/state down$/state up/i; # Ignore monitor down state, save the config as up.

        # end of config - hopefully.  f5 does not have a reliable end-of-config
        # tag.
        if (/^$prompt/) {
            $found_end++;
            last;
        }
        return(-1) if (/command authorization failed/i);

        $lines++;

        if (/(bind-pw|encrypted-password|user-password-encrypted|passphrase) / && $filter_pwds >= 1) {
            ProcessHistory("ENABLE","","","# $1 <removed>\n");
            next;
        }

        # catch anything that wasnt matched above.
        ProcessHistory("","","","$_");
    }

    if ($lines < 3) {
        printf(STDERR "ERROR: $host configuration appears truncated.\n");
        $found_end = 0;
        return(-1);
    }

    return(0);
}

I've seen this question pass through this list a couple times, but I wasn't paying attention.

I have this output from our f5 that rancid sees and is checking in the changes.  The monitor state up and down is usually alternating (QA environment), so I'd like to ignore that line:

How and where do I configure rancid to ignore the lines that have "monitor state" in them?

Thanks, Matt
