Have you configured any of your alerts to show up on the Critical view? 
They don't go there automatically, you have to setup the "critical.cfg" 
file for them to appear.

You can use the "convertnk" tool to generate a critical.cfg from the 
"NK:" definitions in hosts.cfg. Just run "xymoncmd convertnk" and save 
the output in the critical.cfg file.

If that file is setup correctly, then you may need to adjust the 
priority and age settings on the critical view to see all of the events.
