Help needed with monitor associations

Sorry, I don't quite follow. If this monitor already exists and all I want to do is change its association with a pool then why do I have to define all of these options? Aren't these already defined when the monitor was created? I feel like I should be able to just associate it based purely on the health monitor's name and the pool name. If I do a get_monitor_association then it returns the following:

I[[(LocalLB.PoolMember.MemberMonitorAssociation){

member =

(LocalLB.MonitorIPPort){

address_type = "ATYPE_EXPLICIT_ADDRESS_EXPLICIT_PORT"

ipport =

(Common.IPPortDefinition){

address = "1.1.1.1"

port = 80

}

}

monitor_rule =

(LocalLB.MonitorRule){

type = "MONITOR_RULE_TYPE_SINGLE"

quorum = 0

monitor_templates[] =

"HTTP_80",

}

}, (LocalLB.PoolMember.MemberMonitorAssociation){

member =

(LocalLB.MonitorIPPort){

address_type = "ATYPE_EXPLICIT_ADDRESS_EXPLICIT_PORT"

ipport =

(Common.IPPortDefinition){

address = "1.1.1.1"

port = 80

}

}

monitor_rule =

(LocalLB.MonitorRule){

type = "MONITOR_RULE_TYPE_SINGLE"

quorum = 0

monitor_templates[] =

"HTTP_80",

}

}]]

Really, all I want to do is add a monitor_template to the rule.

Thanks again for the help!
