[Xymon] Errors after upgrade to 4.3.29

[Japheth Cleaver]

Hi,

This warning (used to be just a debug message) was added in a few 
versions ago (https://sourceforge.net/p/xymon/code/7888/) to call out 
when rules were presented for a host not visible yet. It could be a sign 
that xymond is not following the 'include' files and thus not presenting 
it to xymond_alert.

Are these regular directory includes or 'netinclude's?
Also, can you try adding the --loadhostsfromxymond option to your 
xymond_alert CMD line and see if the warnings go away?

HTH,
-jc
