Thank you for the suggestions!

We definitely have the /var/application hashes in the manager's 
/var/ossec/queue/syscheck files. 

So it's definitely picking them up, just does not seem to be alerting or 
emailing. On my test instance I also cannot seem to get realtime alerting 
working. I know I enabled it during installation, I think, but it does not 
seem to detect in realtime (despite inotify-tools being installed).
