Can I assume that this is being used in an EAV scripted monitor, and that the monitor works because the assigned pool members are using port 8080 (or 8080 as the alias port)? If so, there isn't a lot of scriptable flexibility in scripted monitors (odd). And generally speaking, you wouldn't be able to use the client port - a real time value from the data plane - in a management plain monitor. An external monitor may be more suitable, but based on the data plane/management plane limitation, where then would you get the port variable?
