Hi Dwayne,
You could potentially use an EAV monitor which references a shell script. The script could check the pool members to see if each is active.
I'm not sure how you'd want to detect a "recent" failure. Perhaps it would be better to have a majority of that logic set up on the servers themselves and just have the monitoring done from GTM.
Here is a related AskF5 solution:

And here is a template EAV. It should work the same for GTM as LTM:
