Priority
What is priority?
Most monitoring tools alert you when a single measurement crosses a fixed line — acceleration exceeds a limit, temperature goes above a set value. That works for clear-cut events, but machine behavior is rarely that simple.
MultiViz takes a different approach. It continuously monitors many signals at once, weighing each one by its significance, and calculates a single priority score. The result is a judgment: how urgently does this source need your attention right now?
The three priority levels
Where you see it
Priority appears in the Priority Alert column on the Overview Page, in the sensor priority pie chart at the top of that page, and in the Deep Analysis View when you investigate a source.
Priority vs. status
Priority and status answer two different questions:
Set by MultiViz — “something changed here, how urgently should an analyst look?”
Set by you — “having looked at it, what condition is this machine actually in?”

Resetting priority
Once you’ve reviewed a source, you reset its priority by clearing it. This marks all current findings as reviewed. If new changes occur afterwards, the priority rises again.
