I just tried it with the line you saw above in the localclient.cfg on the client - no success.
I just dropped the TEXT= argument on both the hobbit-clients.cfg on the server and the localclient.cfg on the client. Give it some time to update and I'll let you know the results =)

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.

I must have skipped over that when I did a grep -i msgs ~hobbituser/server/etc/* to brute force the answer out of the configuration. =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: 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 12:55:23 neon kernel: e100: eth0: e100_watchdog: link up, 100Mbps, full-duplex

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.
