This spans the top of the chart from left to right, and indicates when alarms (represented as colored horizontal bars) were raised, changed, or canceled. |

List of connections and alarms |
The vertical axis of the chart contains a tree structure. The roots of the tree represent your Spotlight connections; the branches represent the alarms that have been raised for each connection. The order of the alarm branches in each connection changes to reflect the alarms that have occurred most recently. Note: You can sort the connections in ascending or descending order. See "Sort the Grid" (page 1) for more information. |

Severity of alarms |
The color of the horizontal alarm bars change to reflect the severity of the relevant alarm. The image below shows that the Threads alarm was initially raised with High severity, and was thereafter downgraded in a series of steps to Information status, and then canceled. See "Alarm Severity and Color Scheme" (page 1) for more information. |
