You need to actually define your alerts and then assign them to hosts.
Simple example:

*** Alerts ***
to = whoever at somewhere.com
from = smoke at somewhere.com

+hostdown
type = loss
pattern = <100%,>99%,>99%
comment = Host is down

+highping
type = rtt
pattern = <50,<50,<50,>300,>300
comment = Higher than normal ping rate

*** Targets ***
probe = yourDefaultProbe
menu = Foo
title = Foo Bar
alerts = hostdown,highping

+host1
# Inherits hostdown & highping alerts
++host2
# Inherits hostdown & highping alerts
++host3
# Override alerts: Only use hostdown alerts for this host
# and its children
alerts = hostdown
++host4
# Overrides alerts: Disable ALL alerts for this host
# and its children
alerts =

The different ways to set up alert patterns, matchers, etc. are fully
documented online at
http://oss.oetiker.ch/smokeping/doc/smokeping_config.en.html or in your
man pages.

Cheers,
