We are not getting alerts for the word "error" appearing in /var/adm/messages. How would we go about troubleshooting this?

Do you want to match just "error" or error, Error and ERROR - it is down to the regexp used in analysis.cfg provided you are monitoring the log in client-local.cfg.
%error wuill match all instances.

pcretest helps one to test whether or not they're on track with their regex's (and Perl-compatible is the type of regex used here). It's been awhile since I used it, but I believe you type a string you're looking for and then enter the regex and it will tell you if it matches.
Incidentally, your opening message wasn't terribly clear -- I skipped it 'cuz I wasn't sure what it meant.

Do you have a rule in analysis.cfg telling Xymon to look for "error"? You need one, it would look something like this:
CLASS=aix LOG /var/adm/messages "%(error|critical)" COLOR=red IGNORE="%(vgptool|Cannot open logfile)" LOG /var/adm/messages "%(warning)" COLOR=yellow
Thanks, Larry Barber
