Monitoring requirements may be different based on a database's current role. For example, metric alert thresholds and alert notification recipients may be different for primary databases compared to standby databases. You may want to open tickets for incidents on primary databases and only send emails for incidents on standby databases. You may want to run backup jobs only on standby databases. To manage these different requirements at scale, follow these recommended best practices.

1. Monitoring Credentials
2. Create groups for your Primary and Standby databases
3. Manage alert thresholds
4. Create incidents and send notifications
5. Manage jobs
6. Schedule blackouts
7. Automate Password Rotation Using the Job System
