Monitoring Pool Member Status

 

We have a pool of servers with a health monitor.

 

 

We monitor pool alerts, but need some way to query the status of the members of a specific pool.

 

What is the best way to do this?

 

 

Are the following posts the correct approach or is there something simpler?

Also, are you familiar with any system monitoring support provided by products like Wily Introscope or OPNET Panorama?

 

 

Thanks,
