A method for monitoring technical equipment, the method comprising: - receiving, by a processor, a plurality of event inputs from one or more event status reporting units, wherein each event input belongs to one of a plurality of predefined event categories; - segregating, by the processor, a time period into an ordered sequence of time slots, wherein the time period represents a time duration within which the event inputs were received; - categorizing, by the processor, each event input according to the time slot within which said event input was received and according to the predefined event category to which said event input belongs; - assigning, by the processor, a rank to each of the predefined event categories within each time slot of the ordered sequence of time slots, wherein the rank of at least one selected predefined event category within a selected one of the time slots is based on a weight of unique event inputs, the unique event inputs being categorized for the at least one selected predefined event category and for the selected time slot; - defining, by the processor, a count of symbols to be displayed for each of the time slots, wherein each symbol represents a unique predefined event category and wherein the count of the symbols is same for all the time slots; - displaying, on a display unit, the ordered sequence of time slots; and - displaying, on the display unit, for each time slot of the ordered sequence of time slots, the defined count of symbols ordered according to the ranks of the respective predefined event categories represented by the symbols, wherein each symbol includes an indication of the weight of unique event inputs categorized for the at least one selected predefined event category and for the selected time slot. - receiving, by a processor, a plurality of event inputs from one or more event status reporting units, wherein each event input belongs to one of a plurality of predefined event categories; - segregating, by the processor, a time period into an ordered sequence of time slots, wherein the time period represents a time duration within which the event inputs were received; - categorizing, by the processor, each event input according to the time slot within which said event input was received and according to the predefined event category to which said event input belongs; - assigning, by the processor, a rank to each of the predefined event categories within each time slot of the ordered sequence of time slots, wherein the rank of at least one selected predefined event category within a selected one of the time slots is based on a weight of unique event inputs, the unique event inputs being categorized for the at least one selected predefined event category and for the selected time slot; - defining, by the processor, a count of symbols to be displayed for each of the time slots, wherein each symbol represents a unique predefined event category and wherein the count of the symbols is same for all the time slots; - displaying, on a display unit, the ordered sequence of time slots; and - displaying, on the display unit, for each time slot of the ordered sequence of time slots, the defined count of symbols ordered according to the ranks of the respective predefined event categories represented by the symbols, wherein each symbol includes an indication of the weight of unique event inputs categorized for the at least one selected predefined event category and for the selected time slot.
