Patent attributes
Techniques are described that enable an IT and security operations application to prioritize the processing of selected events for a defined period of time. Data is obtained reflecting activity within an IT environment, wherein the data includes a plurality of events each representing an occurrence of activity within the IT environment. A severity level is assigned to each event of the plurality of events, where the events are processed by the IT and security operations application in an order that is based at least in part on the severity level assigned to each event. Input is received identifying at least one event of the plurality of events for expedited processing to obtain a set of expedited events, and the identified events are processed by the IT and security operations application before processing events that are not in the set of expedited events.
