Bradley,

these are coming from servername.example.com and were found in the
monitored logfile /var/log/messages. I think you already figured that
out :-)

rule 1002 creates a level 2 alert when any of the following words are
found in a message :
core_dumped|failure|error|attack|bad|illegal|denied|refused|unauthorized|fatal|failed|Segmentation
Fault|Corrupted

in your case it was error and failed that triggered the alert.

Cheers,

Wim
