I forgot I also had to exclude the hosts from the CLASS. So check if you
have another rule that would alert.

CLASS=sunos EXHOST=host1,host2
    LOG     /var/adm/messages %(?-i)FAILED COLOR=yellow
    LOG     %.* %(?-i)NOTICE COLOR=yellow
    LOG     /var/adm/messages %NFS.*not.responding.still.trying COLOR=yellow
    LOG     /var/adm/messages %(?-i)REASON COLOR=red
    LOG     /var/adm/messages %(?-i)WARNING COLOR=yellow
