New to Nagios - Why do i not recieve Service Alert notifications?

[Nagios FTL]

Good afternoon,

I am completely new to Nagios so please excuse me if this is a really silly
question:

I am currently testing before i start to add in real hosts.

I am testing notifications at the moment and i have created a file for
SWITCHES that i have put in a test switch that does not exist so always
will be down and should trigger notification.

I recieve Host Alert Emails in the output of

Subject: ** PROBLEM Host Alert: Test Switch is DOWN **

***** Nagios *****

 Notification Type: PROBLEM

 Info: CRITICAL - Host Unreachable (192.168.1.208)

Host: Test Switch

Address: 192.168.1.208

State: DOWN

Date/Time: Wed Nov 30 16:47:07 GMT 2011


 But i never recieve a Service Alert email.

I have tried disabling nofitications in the host template and only enabling
notifications in the service template but then i recieve nothing at all.

Here the whole of my switch.cfg that i am using for testing, Nagios likes
it and reports Down and Critical statuses on it so it works but just doesnt
send out service alert notifications.

 Could somebody help me as to why please?


 Thankyou very much
