Hi DavidMas,

If you don't specify an alias address and port the monitor will start to probe the individual Pool Member IP/Ports.

If you specify an alias address and/or port the monitor will probe a service via a given IP/Port (probably outside of your Pool), but will have an impact on the availability of the Pool where the Monitor is attached.

 

Cheers, Kai
