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,

I am seeing these errors in my alert.log ? these particular clients (URL?s actually as they are for sslcert tests reside in an include directory):
Checking criteria for host 'abcdef.acc.com', which is not yet defined; some alerts may not immediately fire
The errors are popping for every file that is in the include_directory.
These errors were not present in 4.3.21 ? 4.3.28.? Ideas?
Thanks,
John
