- Identification of top alarms by frequency and source.
- Analysis of alarm frequency across different partitions and tags.
- Highlighting the most frequent alarm types and their sources.
- Detection of partitions with the highest alarm activity.
- Visualization of alarm trends over time.
Drill-down analysis:
- Deep dive into alarm journals to assess context and recurrence.
- Classification of alarms as nuisance (repetitive, low-risk) or real (critical, actionable).
- Tag-based and partition-based filtering for targeted investigation.
