In the server/etc/analysis.cfg file I have the following:

HOST=ourserver1
   LOG=/var/adm/messages IGNORE="%terminal-device not specifiedby login%"
 #  LOG=/var/adm/messages IGNORE="terminal-device not specifiedby login"


I want to ignore messages containing the string "terminal-device not
specifiedby login"

 May 31 17:22:53 ourserver1 bpjava-msvc[7112]: [ID 427199 user.error]
pam_dial_auth: terminal-device not specifiedby login, returning Error
in underlying service module.


Unfortunately it doesn't work.

What am I doing wrong?

Two things.

Why do you have a % at the end?
Have you tried putting the opening  double-quote before the IGNORE?

                LOG=/var/adm/messages “IGONORE=%terminal-device not specifiedby login”

I've found the quotes to be problematic. Try escaping each space, or truncating the string:
 
LOG=/var/adm/messages IGNORE=terminal-device\ not\ specifiedby\ login
 
or
 
LOG=/var/adm/messages IGNORE=terminal-device.*login
 
These are a pain....

I've not used escaping of spaces in this way.  But I have used quotes that
include the IGNORE= part like so:

LOG=/var/adm/messages "IGNORE=terminal-device not specifiedby login"
LOG=/var/adm/messages IGNORE=terminal-device.*login
This won't work because you are using a regular expression match format
".*" but not specifying that it's a regular expression with a leading
percent.  This might be what you mean:

LOG=/var/adm/messages IGNORE=%terminal-device.*login

Or, you can replace spaces with the regex whitespace, like so:

LOG=/var/adm/messages IGNORE=%terminal-device\snot\sspecifiedby\slogin

IMHO, the neatest is to enclose the whole "IGNORE=matchstring" in quotes.
