+Working with Splunk alerts:
+
+    # Create the client
+	splunk = SplunkClient.new("username", "password", "hostname")
+	
+	# Fetch all the open alerts
+	alertEntries = splunk.get_alarm_list.entries
+	
+	# What's the name of this alert?
+	alertEntries[1].alert.title
+	
+	# What time did a particular alert trigger?
+	alertEntries[1].alert.trigger_time_rendered
+	
+	# How many times has a particular alert fired?
+	alertEntries[1].alert.triggered_alerts
+	
+	# Fetch the raw XML results of the alert
+	alertEntries[1].alert.results
+	
+	# Work with the results as a Ruby object
+	alertEntries[1].alert.parsedResults
+
 ## Tips
 
 * Want to spawn multiple jobs without blocking on each? Use `search.complete?` to poll for job status. 
 
 * Looking for more or less results? Use `search.results(maxResults)` to control how much is returned. (A value of 0 returns all results (this is the default.))
