============================================================
Rule of thumb: ALWAYS keep the default settings last. If you have 
a rule that applies to a specific host, like this one:
LOG /var/log/messages error COLOR=red HOST=gsxxx.xxxxxi.com
make sure you put that before the DEFAULT settings. If you
want it to apply to all Linux hosts, use the CLASS setting:

CLASS=linux
	LOG /var/log/messages error COLOR=red


Another thing to check: Look at the "Client data" link from
any of the current statuses for the host. Near the bottom are
the log message data and the log entries - make sure
/var/log/messages shows up there, and that the data you expect
to see is actually there. Remember, the client only looks at
log-entries that have happened in the past 30 minutes.
