#             Example: Go red if the text "I/O error" or "read error"
appears.
#                 LOG %/var/(adm|log)/messages %(I/O|read).error COLOR=red

I think it's:

HOST=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
