A method, apparatus, computer-readable media and user interface for annunciating problems in a system. The method involves producing signals for concurrently indicating a plurality of system problems and problem priority information associated with the system problems based on data representing system conditions. Such signals may be used to drive a display device. Operator input signals may be received to permit selection of a particular problem for which details are provided. The indication of priority information assists a system manager or operator to quickly prioritize system problems according to different perspectives provided by different priority information.
