According to the Citrix documentation1, the triggerMonitor parameter specifies the conditions under which the service monitor is invoked. The possible values are: ALWAYS: The service monitor is always invoked. MEPDOWN: The service monitor is invoked only when Metric Exchange Protocol (MEP) has marked the service as DOWN for any reason. MEPSUSPECT: The service monitor is invoked only when MEP has marked the service as SUSPECT. NONE: The service monitor is never invoked. Therefore, the command set gslb site SiteB -triggerMonitor MEPDOWN will set the triggerMonitor value to MEPDOWN for SiteB, which means the service monitor is invoked only when MEP has marked the service as DOWN for any reason. 1: https://docs.citrix.com/en-us/citrix-adc/13/gslb/configure-gslb-site.html
