icontrol equivalent call for 'b node down'

Not sure what you are asking about the status colors. There are no parameters for the set methods that directly equate to these. Basically when you call get_monitor_state() the value can depend on what's going on with everything behind the scenes (is the monitor currently running, has the monitor not run yet, has it reported an up or down state, has it been disabled by a parent object, etc.) You can set the monitor_state to either enabled or disabled for an object, but the status is what's going on at the moment you make the request for get_monitor_status().

 

 

The possible values for the monitors status is:

 

 

MONITOR_STATUS_UNCHECKED 0 Status of an enabled object that is not being monitored.

 

MONITOR_STATUS_CHECKING 1 Initial status of a object until its monitors report.

 

MONITOR_STATUS_UP 2 Status of an enabled object when its monitors succeed.

 

MONITOR_STATUS_DOWN 3 Status of an enabled object when its monitors fail.

 

MONITOR_STATUS_FORCED_DOWN 4 Status of a object when it's forced down manually.

 

MONITOR_STATUS_MAINT 5 Status of an object when in maintenance mode.

 

MONITOR_STATUS_ADDRESS_DOWN 6 Status of an object whose node address monitor fails.

 

MONITOR_STATUS_DOWN_BY_IRULE 7 Status of an object which has been marked down by an iRule.

 

MONITOR_STATUS_DOWN_WAIT_FOR_MANUAL_RESUME 8 Status of an object which has been marked down, and should be manually marked up.

 

 

 

Not sure if this answers your question or not. If not, let me know and I'll try to clarify it further.
