I plan to soon start testing some use cases requiring many different combinations of monitors, queries, triggers, and actions for document level monitoring.

Can we get some guidance on performance impacts of building out many different monitor object, vs packing more queries into one monitoring object, impact of one vs many trigger definitions in in the context of a monitoring definition, etc…

It would also be great to update the docs with such guidance 🙂
