I have a HA cluster, (with synced configuration) for failover both frontends and backends, but I also loadbalance incoming traffic by using CARP IP’s on the frontend.

Is there a way i can turn off backend monitoring globally for one or the other HA Instance - or control what haproxy that should do the monitoring per backend or frontend?
