Basically, it looks like a graph with icons which match different events.
The information sign is used for software events like installation or uninstall of an app which finished successfully.
For software installs and uninstalls which failed, the graph shows a warning sign.
For software faults like crashes, an error sign is used.

You can click the appropriate icon to learn more about past events. In my case, the reliability monitor shows several crashes of Edge.

In the lower part of the window, you can learn more about the event. For information marks, you can see details by clicking the link "View technical details". For errors and faults, you can quickly look for available solutions.
