Is there any way to check for how long the NAGIOS TOOL runs? I mean when the tool started running and the time up till now.
Nagios is running in a remote machine, in which I have access (through ssh). I have both credentials for accessing the machine and credentials just to see the Stats from Nagios on this machine
I tried System->Process Info, but I do not have privileges to view such information.
Is there any other way, through terminal?
You can use nagiostats to check the uptime of a Nagios instance. See: https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagioscore/docs/nagioscore/3/en/nagiostats.html
[nagios@lanman ~]# /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagiostats -c /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg

Find the nagios.log file, it's likely in the var directory under the Nagios installation. Then..
grep "Nagios.*starting" nagios.log | tail -1
Grab the epoch time (first field), and convert it to local.

All in one, assuming the nagios.log is in the current directory.
date -d @$(grep "Nagios.*starting" nagios.log | tail -1 | awk '{print $1}' | sed 's/\[//;' | sed 's/\]//;')
