    So you have applied monitors at the node level, which is why the parent node of the pool member shows green. Removing the node monitor will make the parent node show as blue.

is it better to have the monitor on the pool (which I assume will monitor the pool members under it) or at the node level. If there going to all be monitored on the same service would it make sense to monitor them a the pool level? Or it the pool level monitor on for the pool its self without the members?

    Pool level monitoring should be used in most cases. In the event you have a node applied to multiple pools and possibly multiple different service ports, doing the monitoring at the pool level will be most beneficial.
