"monitor status down" is not being logged to /var/log/ltm

Our BigIPs (various 9.x and 11.x) are not logging changes to health monitor status.

I checked all of the ltm logs on one F5 and it only has a single mcpd entry:

zgrep mcpd *.gz
ltm.8.gz:May 14 11:01:20 f5a mcpd[1869]: 01070533:3: evWrite finished with no byte sent to connection 0x9c0ee00 (user root) - connection deleted.

This is despite logs showing that entire pools are unavailable.

Is there a setting somewhere that lets monitor status logs be turned off?

    Ah, the setting for MCP in System / Logs / Configuration needs to be Informational before the member state is reported.
