The users can look at the logs at once, set all the Sure, but one failed start / inspect logs / modify configuration / start will always by longer than just reading the docs and making sure that the configuration is appropriate. It also won't help if you want to modify the settings on your primary and make sure that you won't have an incident on your HA setup.
