Hi all,
After some debugging (client_config.c:scan_log), I finally could trigger yellow or red state on the msgs column!
1/ logfilename Unlike what the man page says, the logfilename must include the directory OR it must be a regexp (leading %)
Examples:
LOG /var/log/messages LOG %messages
LOG messages <-- won't work!
2/ pattern The string to match must be a regexp
Examples:
%warning warning <-- won't work!
I did not try the excludepattern.

Dominique,
That is just what I needed to get started. Where did you find a man page that explains LOG? I didn't see one.
Setting yellow and red rules to these: LOG %messages %error yellow LOG %messages %warn red
Echoed the following to the messages file: warn10 warn error 10 error10
Displayed the following alerts: Critical entries in /var/log/messages yellow warn error 10 yellow error10 red warn10 red warn error 10
Full log /var/log/messages warn10 warn error 10 error10
I didn't have any luck with setting ignoreexp either.
