Looks interesting!

Dont see the 1 second auto-failover in the documentation: is it yet to be updated, or is it only for Capella or something else?

I opened a doc bug DOC-12011.

@pccb the failover can only be set to less than 5 seconds using the REST API. However, once set to less than 5 seconds, it makes it impossible to set anything on that page in the UI. So if needed, one would need to set it to five seconds, make whatever changes are needed in the UI, save. And then set the failover time by the REST API. There is an MB ticket to allow values less than 5 seconds in the UI. Along with one to update the documentation.
