A computer implemented method comprising: receiving, at an object server, a structured query language (SQL) fast track command from a probe, wherein the SQL fast track command includes an event record based on a first occurrence of a system event of a network intercepted by the probe and a fast track flag settable by the probe; storing the event record and the fast track flag as an event item at a database of event items; determining whether the fast track flag of the stored event item is set after storing the event item; and in response to a determination that the fast track flag of the stored event item is set: initiating a pre-processing callback procedure that is provided by a first client software application, the pre-processing callback procedure to format the stored event record for use by the first client software application; and sending a direct notification from the object server to the first client software application, the direct notification including a description of the system event and a primary key associated with the stored event record, the primary key enabling the first client software application to retrieve the event record from the database.
