<p class="MsoNormal">Here's my new alerts.cfg file. It didn't change anything though. I'm<br>
still not receiving alerts. To force a trouble situation I've got a<br>
line in my hosts file that's checking for ssh on a machine that has it<br>
turned off so it will cause a red alert.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><br>
First, check the "info" status column for that host: The alert must be shown there, or your configuration is not being picked up.<br>
<br>
Second, check the notifications.log logfile to see if the alerts are being sent. If they are, then you need to look into the mail logs.<br>
<br>
Third, try running xymond_alert with the "--test HOSTNAME SERVICE" option to see what rules get picked up; see the man-page.<br>
