OEM 11g Not alerting of critical status...

  I have an OEM 11g, with a 10.2.0.4.0 RAC target with 4 nodes. There are no monitoring templates configured in OEM. There is a notification rule set for 'Database Instances' (I'm assuming this also includes cluster database instances, but there is a 'Cluster Database' target type possible in the notification rules... so I'm not sure.

  We have other targets that are sending e-mail alerts and that's fine, but I have no record of any alert generated from this RAC. What's more, I tried to force an alert (set a very low threshold for a particular tablespace). The alert was generated in EM, but no e-mail was sent. The schedule is 24/7 and the email address is correct.

  I am using sysman.

  What is even more weird, is that I have tablespaces well over the warning threshold and some even past the critical threshold, and there isn't even an alert in EM for them. I am at a loss as to even how to start to investigate this...

  Oh, and I inherited this system and the person that set up EM si no longer available...

   Any ideas? docs? links? magic 8 balls?

thanks :-)
