Hi,

 

When pool member is disabled it's still accepting new connections for existing persistent connections, as well as handling already open connections. Action on service down is only performed when pool member is marked down by monitor. So for you monitor setting it only happen when there is no match for both Receive String and Receive Disable String. If there is match for only Receive Disable String pool member is not set to down (equal to Forced offline admin status) it's set to disabled (SOL) so Action on Service down is not performed.
