This has been solved -- from reading the localclient.cfg it said:
" ************ IMPORTANT ***************
# To monitor a logfile, you *MUST* configure both client-local.cfg
# and analysis.cfg. If you configure only the client-local.cfg
# file, the client will collect the log data and you can view it in
# the "client data" display, but it will not affect the color of the
# "msgs" status. On the other hand, if you configure only the
# analysis.cfg file, then there will be no log data to inspect,
# and you will not see any updates of the "msgs" status either."
Which fixed it.
