Nagios does it for you in the 'Event Log' link under the Reporting
header in the left frame of the Nag start page.

If you want to look at 'the log files in a friendler format', then take
Mr Galstads advice, and from the CLI, cd into the log path and type

./perl_saved_as_file_and_chmod755 nagios.log | more

or a for a real quick one liner

perl -ane '$F[0] =~ /(\d+)/ && print
localtime($1) . " @F[1..$#F]\n" nagios.log


Or have I misunderstood your question ?

Yours sincerely.
