Robert-Jan's reference will contain the answer.

The most likely reason is that you are looking for email, but with the default settings you won't get that.

By default, the test event (103) is an INFORMATION level event, and the default for those is to append the event to the event.log, not to send email.

Run /etc/opt/resmon/lbin/moncheck to see where the event notifications of different severity get sent.
