Two things.

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

In the server/etc/analysis.cfg file I have the following:
HOST=3Dourserver1
   LOG=3D/var/adm/messages IGNORE=3D"%terminal-device not specifiedby login%"
 #  LOG=3D/var/adm/messages IGNORE=3D"terminal-device not specifiedby login"

I want to ignore messages containing the string "terminal-device not specifie=
dby login"

Unfortunately it doesn't work.
