Configuration Best Practices

1. Naming Convention

   • Use descriptive names
   • Include service and action type
   • Follow ServiceName_ActionType format

2. Thresholds

   • Set appropriate buffer zones
   • Consider time windows
   • Include gradual escalation

3. Actions

   • Start with notifications
   • Graduate to automated actions
   • Include rollback steps
