I tried the following syntax:
LOG /var/log/messages %authentication\sfailure color=yellow
The messages appears as an alert but the color remains green.
Is this syntax correct?

Try using this syntax (changing space with \s + pcre)
LOG /var/log/messages %authentication\sfailure
color=yellow

Hi Manocchia,
It could be access rights, if you are running hobbit using the init script
it will run as user hobbit and make sure that hobbit user can read
/var/log/messages

Subject: [hobbit] LOG alert not showing yellow
I have a small problem. I've set up monitoring of the /var/log/messages
logfile to search for the string "authentication failure" and alert with a
yellow button in the MSG column. I can see the error displayed when I click
on the button below the Msg column header but it does not turn yellow.
Below is the entry in the clients-local.cfg file:
[batman]
log:/var/log/messages:10240
ignore MARK
This is the entry in the hobbit-clients.cfg file:
HOST=batman
LOG /var/log/messages authentication failure color=yellow
Why doesn't this give me a yellow alert.
Thanks
