            ManagementGroup managementGroup = new ManagementGroup("localhost");
            ManagementPackClass windowsComputerClass = managementGroup.EntityTypes.GetClass(SystemMonitoringClass.WindowsComputer);

         
            List<PartialMonitoringObject> windowsComputerObjects = new List<PartialMonitoringObject>();
            IObjectReader<PartialMonitoringObject> reader = managementGroup.EntityObjects.GetObjectReader<PartialMonitoringObject>(windowsComputerClass, ObjectQueryOptions.Default);
            windowsComputerObjects.AddRange(reader);

            foreach (PartialMonitoringObject windowsComputerObject in windowsComputerObjects)
            {
                ReadOnlyCollection<MonitoringAlert> alerts;

                alerts = windowsComputerObject.GetMonitoringAlerts(
                    Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.Common.TraversalDepth.Recursive);

                Console.WriteLine("{0} - State: {1} - Number of alerts: {2}",
                                  windowsComputerObject.DisplayName,
                                  windowsComputerObject.HealthState.ToString(),
                                  alerts.Count);

                foreach (MonitoringAlert alert in alerts)
                {
                    Console.WriteLine("{0}", alert.Name);
                }
            }
        }
    }

Remarks

The MonitoringAlert class contains information about an alert in Operations Manager. Alerts are used to notify operators of problems. Alerts are driven by event processing rules or scripts. An alert tells you when something significant happened in one of your systems. You can monitor alerts to determine the significance of an alert and the corrective action to be taken.
