The purpose is tracking who is interrupting and why, not stopping interruptions, with the aim of finding patterns. In previous places I worked, it might have been quite useful if I kept a record of what questions people interrupted me to ask, so I could look back on that and work out parts of my software than needed to be made easier to use or have documentation added. If I was using OP's tool to track this, I'd probably include "interruptions" where someone sent an email or slack message as well as those where someone came over in person.
