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.<div>
<br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>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. </div>
