It looks ok to me, but since your match string isn't a regexp, you really
don't need the "TEXT=" part. Even though the comments in the config file
says you can have it, I've never used it. In fact, I'm not sure what good it
does since the full message is displayed without it, even with a regexp for
the match string.
Also a caveat: many of us have noticed that the pattern matching for the log
files is buggy. At least in 4.2.0. Some IGNORE patterns don't ignore. I
don't remember noticing any match strings not matching, though.

=P
I went on the server and made a line that says...
HOST=thismatchesbbhosts
LOG /var/log/messages e100_watchdog COLOR=red TEXT="bond interface
watch"
On the hobbit server, on the msgs test page, I have this text...
Mar 12 12:55:19 neon kernel: e100: eth0: e100_watchdog: link down
Mar 12 12:55:19 neon kernel: bonding: bond0: link status definitely down for interface eth0, disabling it
Mar 12 12:55:19 neon kernel: bonding: bond0: making interface eth1 the new active one.

Mar 12 12:55:28 neon kernel: bonding: bond0: link status definitely up for interface eth1.
But it still says green. Any idea where my mistake is?
Thanks for the help Steve!

Josh,I think Dirk meant the hobbit-clients.cfg file on the server. In my
hobbit-clients.cfg file I have (for example):
LOG /var/adm/messages %(?-i)WARNING COLOR=yellow
IGNORE="%.*fibre-chanel.*"
which says turn yellow for a warning but ignore the given string. And
this is on the server.
Is that not what you want?

One and only bump on this =)
Is it possible to specify words or something on the server side to
make the msgs test red or yellow? Dirk here gave me a solution for the
client side which works, but if at all possible I'd like to configure it on
the server.

Is there an equal way to do the same thing on the server side?

Of course. You have to define a match-pattern and a COLOR
statement in
the LOG entry of your client configuration file. This is explained
inside the client config file localclient.cfg, if you use client
side
configuration.
