how to search for exact word patterns

Right now looks like this:
 
LOG /var/log/messages %failure*|%failed*|%error*|%Warning*|%memory*
Color=Red
 
But if I type 
LOG /var/log/messages %failure*|%failed*|%error*|%Warning*|%out of
memory* Color=Red
 
I'm getting all the messages that have one of these words: out or of or
memory somewhere in their string.

Try making it a regex (with % prefix) instead of "simple" expression.

I think it's:

HOST=my.host.com <http://my.host.com/>; 
    LOG /var/log/messages "out of memory" COLOR=red

Not tested.

Hello all,
I am trying to set up an alert to search for exact word patterns in
/var/log/messages.  For example: "Out of Memory"

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Camelia
