Summary

Removed regex pattern validation for IAM role ARN in Monitor property

Security assessment

The change removes a pattern constraint but doesn't explicitly address a security vulnerability. While pattern validation can help prevent misconfigurations, there's no evidence this removal is related to a specific security issue.
