    In my opinion, there is no reason to monitor a node. Set it to "None" as we usually configure monitoring at pool member level.

     

    None - no monitoring of node (IP)

     

    Node specific - A specific monitor configure and used for that node.

     

    Default - some common monitor used for all nodes based on your configuration.

     

    You will see similar options for pool member monitoring too.
