It always bothered me to have to figure out what’s my primary database machine when SSHing into it. This is all about roles so we added a simple note of the role of each machine on your SSH options when using -s flag.

This also works with any apps that have a health check named role, just like the Monitoring Page role column works.

I hope this helps make your life easier, it sure helped me.
