Correct, I probably was using the incorrect term.
Forgive me, as it has been a long time since I actually have done this manually. I forget if you mark the node down manually, it would allow existing sessions to continue, but deny new correct?
I was hoping for a bit more elegant solution to directly influence the GTM directly.
Ideally, what I would truly like to do is put a loaded weight. 1 to 1 below say 10 users. Then go 2-1 at 15, 3-1 at 20 etc.. to get a better balance. With 25 users i am not worried about load at this point. However, this is a new offering we are looking to provide. As a result, we may have 5k users eventually per node.
I will check on the SNMP, it sounds like I do have some solutions which is a good thing. I need to set up my lab with this deployment and see what my options are.
