disabling monitoring for pool member

Hi,

 

I'm converting a system implemented in Java from iControl to iControlREST and I'm having difficulties finding how to disable the monitoring for a pool member.

 

With iControl you can set the a LocalLBPoolMemberMemberSessionState to iControl.CommonEnabledState.STATE_ENABLED or iControl.CommonEnabledState.STATE_DISABLED to do so.

 

But from the iControlREST API, it's not so clear, as the "session" cannot be changed from "monitor-enabled" to "monitor-disabled".

 

I know I can turn the pool member offline and online again by setting a combination of "session" and "state" as indicated here:

 

https://devcentral.f5.com/articles/icontrol-rest-working-with-pool-members

 

But I can't seem to figure out how to replicate the behavior of iControl to only disable monitoring.

 

Thanks in advance to anyone who can point me in the right direction...

      I'd like to be able to toggle on/off monitoring for a pool member.

       

      I know it's possible to see the state of the monitor with a GET request to the REST Api through /mgmt/tm/ltm/pool/THE-POOL/members/THE-MEMBER/stats

       

      Ex: ....."entries":{........."monitorStatus":{"description":"up"}..........}

       

      But I don't if it's possible to formulate a valid JSON string to change a value with a PUT request to modify stats (as it would make sense that they're read-only).
