Description

I posit that the expense of running gateway monitoring actions is too expensive and disruptive to be enabled on every gateway, including VPN interface gateways, by default. In almost all cases other than Multi-WAN there is no reason to run the actions, but the monitoring history can be valuable.

The default on a new gateway should be gateway monitoring enabled, gateway monitoring actions disabled.

Enabling gateway monitoring actions should be moved to the documentation on enabling Multi-WAN as a required step. Possibly to enabling a routing protocol on a VPN link as well. And whatever other edge cases appear.

This, of course, should not change existing gateway settings.
