Hi Lee Poh Bonn,
Hope you are doing well and thank you for using wazuh.May I know what exactly you are looking for in wazuh alerting?  We have the following information on how to get wazuh alerts. You can have a look at these steps and information:Create rules: To generate alerts Wazuh employs rules and decoders for particular events which are located at /var/ossec/ruleset/rules. You can create your own rules and decoders to meet your unique requirements. It is suggested to Create your rules in the wazuh configuration files, which are located in the /var/ossec/etc/rules/local_rules.xml. To more about rulesets, you can refer to this link https://documentation.wazuh.com/current/user-manual/ruleset/index.html
 You can also see alerts in the  alerts.json file which is located at /var/ossec/logs/alerts/alerts.json. To test the custom rules and decoders, you can run the log at /var/ossec/bin/wazuh-logtest and ensure the alerting rules are operating properly. For this, you can follow this wazuh documentation. https://documentation.wazuh.com/current/user-manual/ruleset/testing.htmlEmail alerts: Set up email notifications so that Wazuh may send you notifications.
