"Alerting:" not populated on web page
I have entries defined in my alerts.cfg I have the [alert] task ENABLED in my tasks.cfg
When I use 'xymond_alert --dump-config', the result appears as I expect. When I use 'xymond_alert --test . . .', it indicates a mail message will be sent (if I supply an appropriate combination of times, duration, color, and test).
But the "Alerting:" section of the host's "info" web-page remains stubbornly empty, saying only "No alerts defined".
I can't figure out why. Does anyone have ideas?
This installation is running Xymon 4.3.30-1.el7.terabithia on CentOS 7
I have a similar, but older, installation running Xymon 4.3.28 on Solaris 10, where it displays as I expect.

Doesnt the Alerting table reflect the contents of critical.cfg ?

Maybe it is the intersection of alerts.cfg and critical.cfg? I duno as we don't use the critical.cfg anywhere.
But having beat, hacked, bent, poured through the source, run gobs of 'xymonboard' queries, enabled/disabled selinux, flipped --debug switches, added and removed files from alerts.d/ . . . it is working as expected. I'll be darned if I can figure out why.

Hi,
Top posting, sorry in advance.
Something I found broke my 4.3.30-1 terabithia installation was this peculiar "bug"?
This NEEDS to be last in hosts.cfg:
needs to be last in file
include additional host configurations
directory /etc/xymon/hosts.d
Atleast that broke enadis for me - perhaps it breaks other things?
