I've been dealing with this same thing for a few days now, myself. One thing that I've been confused by, though, is the state of a pool member in the REST result when a node is disabled. As far as I can see, when I put a node in "user-down", the pool member that uses that node still displays as { "state": "up" }, even though the GUI shows the member as being Offline. Is there a different place I should be going to get that "merged" state?
