[Xymon] IGNORE ignored

[Root, Paul T]

Two things.

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

                LOG=/var/adm/messages “IGONORE=%terminal-device not specifiedby login”

In the server/etc/analysis.cfg file I have the following:
HOST=ourserver1
   LOG=/var/adm/messages IGNORE="%terminal-device not specifiedby login%"
 #  LOG=/var/adm/messages IGNORE="terminal-device not specifiedby login"

I want to ignore messages containing the string "terminal-device not specifiedby login"

 May 31 17:22:53 ourserver1 bpjava-msvc[7112]: [ID 427199 user.error] pam_dial_auth: terminal-device not specifiedby login, returning Error in underlying service module.

Unfortunately it doesn't work.

What am I doing wrong?
