A monitor with a 'send' or 'receive' string is not supported with a single trailing backslash, such as "GET /\r\n\" (note the single-trailing backslash that "escapes" the trailing double-quotes).
When configuration is saved and then loaded, the single-trailing backslash will escape the trailing double-quotes and the configuration will fail to load.
A monitor 'send' or 'receive' string ends with a single trailing backslash; and the configuration is saved, and then a load is attempted.
A double-trailing backslash is supported, where the trailing double-quotes will not be escaped, for example: "GET /\\r\\n"
