NoctilucentSorry I couldn't get your complete requirement.
You have a pool and have some members in it. But you do not want to monitor all the members but to monitor a a specific pool member (admin.node.ip as you say). If this server is not responding to your health check, you want this is to be Up ? I'm confused.

NimbostratusHi ,

- Correct

- Yes

- If the server isn't responding or giving back a known good state I want the pool to be marked as 'Up'.

- Hopefully that's fixed! But maybe not! What I'm after is a single centralised place to put a file that takes a pool out of service but if that single centralised place goes offline for some reason then the pool isn't taken out of service for that reason - only on giving a known response. A timeout or other network fault shouldn't effect the pool health. I do realise this isn't most probably possible without a custom monitor.
Cheers
