I'm trying to edit my prefixes' AS path regex in BGPmon, and when I add a
'\s' in the Regular expression field, upon save, the '\' is stripped.
Is this expected behavior?
The workaround is to insert a '\\s' instead, but one needs to remember to
do this on every edit, and I tend to forget which results in panicking the
others on our team with false positives.

I'm not familiar with BGPmon but your symptoms sounds like typical programming issue.
The '\' is stripped probably due to a "Stripslashes" function in the code. So by doing double '\\' you kinda
trick the code into only doing the first one.
I don't really know of any way around this.
Hi Christopher,

I believe this should be fixed now, please try again.
Contact me directly (andree at bgpmon.net) if the problem persists or if you have any other bgpmon.net questions.
Alternatively, as a replacement for \s you can also just use a white space
for example: (6327|13768|852) 271$
Cheers,
