Is there a way to filter exceptions in elma using the exception message?

Examples:
"System.Web.HttpException: Request timed out." I don't want to filter out all HttpException, but only the timed-out requests.
"System.Web.HttpException: Maximum request length exceeded."

What I don't want to do is write own code for that. So is it possible to do this with the buildin-web.config configuration?

Thank you!
