The priority bar on the left will indicate the priority level of the alert. If the alert is filled with the same color it will indicate that the alert is triggered.
Yellow indicates a Low level alert. If the alert is filled with yellow, the alert is triggered.
Orange indicates a Moderate level alert. If the alert is filled with Orange, the alert is triggered.
Red indicates a High level alert. If the alert is filled with Red, the alert is triggered.
Purple indicates a Critical level alert. If the alert is filled with Purple, the alert is triggered.
If an alert is grey, this indicates the alert has been disabled.
