Hello all,

i'm looking for a simple way to get the actual alerts list from the linux command line, is there a way to get it ?

Thanks

You could grep the nagios.log file for "ALERT", "WARNING" or "CRITICAL"

grep ALERT /usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.log

problem is that this log file seems to contain too many alerts...not only actual ones, isn't it ?

Well, these will include soft and hard alerts for warnings. If you just want the criticals:

grep CRITICAL /usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.log
