When multiple event types with different color values are assigned to the same event, what determines the displayed color?

In Splunk, when multiple event types are assigned to the same event, the displayed color is determined by the priority assigned to those event types. Each event type can have a specific priority level, which influences how it is rendered visually. The highest priority event type among those assigned to a particular event takes precedence in terms of color display. This means that, even if an event has multiple classifications, the one with the highest designated priority will dictate how that event is presented in terms of color within visualizations or dashboards.

Understanding the concept of priority is essential because it provides clarity on how events are categorized and displayed, especially in settings where data needs to be easily interpreted at a glance. In contrast, while concepts like rank, weight, or precedence may be related to different aspects of data handling or visualization in Splunk, they do not specifically dictate the displayed colors in situations with multiple event classifications. Thus, the emphasis is on priority as the determining factor.
