You may want to try:

LOG /var/log/messages  %(?-i)lockup COLOR=red



 From hobbit-clients.cfg(5):
...
                                          Note that Xymon defaults
      to  case-insensitive  pattern  matching; if that is not what
      you want, put  "(?-i)"  between  the  "%"  and  the  regular
      expression to turn this off. E.g. "%(?-i)WARNING" will match
      the word WARNING only when it is upper-case.
