How to prioritize infrastructure problems

Use severity tiers to decide which detected issues deserve immediate attention and which can wait.

AgencyEnterprise·5 min read

The situation

When monitoring a portfolio of domains, multiple issues will be detected simultaneously. Without a consistent prioritization approach, teams either respond to everything at once or let issues accumulate. Severity tiers make prioritization systematic.

Before you begin

Active monitoring across the domain portfolio
Familiarity with Infraova's severity classification system

The operational path

01Review detections
02Classify severity
03Apply context
04Assign response time
05Act

The goal isn't just to find the error. The goal is to move from detection to a verified infrastructure state.

Step by step

01Understand the severity tiers

Infraova classifies issues by severity. Use these classifications to guide your response time decisions.

What to check

✓Critical: immediate impact on email delivery or security — respond now
✓High: significant risk if not addressed — respond same day
✓Medium: degraded configuration that should be corrected — address this week
✓Informational: awareness item with no immediate impact — review and decide
02Apply business context

Severity classifications are a starting point. Apply business context to refine priority.

What to check

✓Is this domain actively sending email?
✓Is this client high-priority in the portfolio?
✓Is this issue compounding an existing problem?
✓Is there a time constraint (campaign launch, contract renewal)?

With Infraova

Infraova surfaces issues by severity in the portfolio view — so the most critical problems are always at the top.

03Set response time expectations

Define response time targets for each severity level and apply them consistently.

What to check

✓Critical: respond within 1 hour
✓High: respond within the same business day
✓Medium: address within the current week
✓Informational: review in the next scheduled triage session

You decide. Infraova executes.

Infraova can propose and execute an approved infrastructure change, but it does not independently decide to modify client infrastructure. Every proposed change requires explicit authorization before execution.

Key takeaway

Severity tiers exist to prevent everything from feeling equally urgent. Use them consistently, apply business context, and define response time targets so the team operates from the same playbook.

Turn this playbook into a continuous workflow

Without Infraova

Someone discovers the issue
↓Someone investigates manually
↓Someone decides what to do
↓Someone makes the change
↓Someone checks whether it worked

With Infraova

Monitor
↓Detect
↓Prioritize
↓Propose
↓Approve
↓Remediate
↓Verify
↓Record

The guide teaches you how to solve the problem once. Infraova keeps watching for it after you're done.
