[Ezra Radoff]

They're not in the log. They're not running notifcations for critical events, just warnings.

Check the Notification page on Nagios web interface. Every alert sent by
Nagios should have an entry there. If you see all expected entries there
then Nagios is sending alerts correctly (i.e. running the cotification
command) and the problem is likely on or after the notification command.
