Thx! I'm actually not interested in pushing hard to get most data. I'm particularly interested in member status, but sans that, I'll just re-read the config from time to time as a correctness / convergence protocol sort of thing.

 

So really, I'm interested in finding out about VIP member state aggressively.

 

THe other thing I'll look at from time to time is general load stats. Things like CPU load, throughput, and all that. General operational stats so I get a sense of how the unit is doing.
