I am attempting to look for a pattern in the continuously growing log file and mail me if match is found. (on Linux). But I am having problem.

You could use something like this:
err1=down
tail -f logfile |
while IFS= read -r; do
case $REPLY in
"$err1" ) mail -s "Found warning" your_email@address ;;
esac
done
(Sorry for the wrong encoding in the previous email.)
You could adjust the pattern using wildcards:
err1=down
tail -f logfile |
while IFS= read -r; do
case $REPLY in
*"$err1"* ) mail -s "Found warning" your_email@address ;;
esac
done
