#2 LOGS Module Not Using My Offset File

[Toddcobbmd]

I'm configuring OpenSMART agent on my Solaris server running Solaris 10, with perl 5.14.2.

My $HOME/etc/osagent.conf.xml file has:

<LOGS>
<LOGFILE>
<LOGFILENAME>/var/adm/messages</LOGFILENAME>
<AGE>
<MAXAGE>86400</MAXAGE>
<ERRORLEVEL>ERROR</ERRORLEVEL>
</AGE>
<LOGFILTER><REGEX>syslogd.*restart</REGEX><ERRORLEVEL>NORMAL</ERRORLEVEL
></LOGFILTER>
<OFFSETFILE>/app/OpenSMART/var/messages.offset</OFFSETFILE>
<!-- If you don't define ERRORLEVEL: Default is NORMAL -->
<!-- If you don't define PRIORITY: Default is 100 -->
<LOGFILTER><REGEX>-- MARK --</REGEX></LOGFILTER>
<LOGFILTER>
<REGEX>.*</REGEX>
<!-- That is AFTER all default priorities! -->
<PRIORITY>1000</PRIORITY>
<ERRORLEVEL>ERROR</ERRORLEVEL>
</LOGFILTER>

...
...

But each time I manually execute bin/osagent, osagent reports the same errors at the top of the /var/adm/messages file.
My related var files are:

avbosmart@MARS $ ll var/mess*
-rw-r--r-- 1 avbosmart sysadmin 56930 Nov 14 13:38 var/messages.error
-rw-r--r-- 1 avbosmart sysadmin 5 Nov 14 13:38 var/messages.offset

My messages.offset seems to be correct:
avbosmart@MARS $ od -c var/messages.offset
0000000 5 6 9 3 0
0000005
avbosmart@MARS $ wc -c /var/adm/messages
56930 /var/adm/messages

I tried to configure Log4Perl for additional info, but I couldn't get it to give any detail about the LOGS module.

I'd appreciate your help.
Thanks!
