Well, the answer is to use the "GROUP" keyword after the test.
On the Xymon server:
In the ~xymon/server/etc/analysis.cfg file, use this:
HOST=sparky
LOG /tmp/test.log wibble COLOR=red GROUP=wibble
("wibble" is the keyword to check on in the log file and red is the
colour to set the web page "msgs" icon to.)
In the ~xymon/server/etc/alerts.cfg file, use this:
GROUP=wibble
MAIL user-4a93aacab394@xymon.invalid SERVICE=log FORMAT=PLAIN COLOR=red
On the Xymon client.
In the ~xymon/server/etc/client-local.cfg file, use this:
log:/tmp/test.log:1024
This will collect up to 1024 lines from the log file. Adjust accordingly.
Now if "wibble" appears in the /tmp/test.log file, an e-mail will be
sent to user-4a93aacab394@xymon.invalid

if a server's particular log has a certain entry?
I have
HOST=server-abc-ge1
MAIL user-bbed4d766b23@xymon.invalid SERVICE=log COLOR=red
Can I put something like SERVICE=log:Fail.log="Big-Failure"
