Each box represent a check type of the alert and clicking on the box will show allow you to see only the relevant internal alerts in the grid below.
The boxes are color coded as follows:
Green - No problems detected
Red - One or more issues were detected, or the previous schedule check did not run (because of a problem with DPOD for example), but a previous check detected a problem.
Grey - The check did not run yet - some checks only start a few minutes to an hour after DPOD starts up - this is normal and does not indicate on any problems.
