You can try adding this to your script. Be careful with the quotes on the first and last lines. The awk programme needs to be quoted in single quotes on the remote machine, and you don't want the local shell to substitute in for $x references, so the quoting is tricky.

Code:
ssh hostname awk -v targeth=$HOST -v targetd=$DATE "'"'
    function print_stuff( atend )
    {
        if( date )
        {
            pcount++;
            printf( "%s\n%s\n%s\n%s\n\n", date, host, alert, parameter );
        }
        else
            if( atend  && ! pcount )
                printf( "no alarms found for %s\n", targeth );
    }

    /^Date.Time: / {
        print_stuff( 0 );   # print last block if collected
        date = targetd == $2 ? $0 : "";
        next;
    }

    /^Host: / && date {
        host = $0;
        if( $2 != targeth )
            date = "";      # reject; wrong date
        next;
    }

    /^Alert Type: / {
        alert = $0;
        next;
    }

    /^Parameter: / {
        parameter = $0;
        next;
    }

    END {
        print_stuff( 1 );               # print last block if it was collected
    }
'"' <path-to-logfile"

Hope this gets you closer.
