When a node in NPM has been down and then comes back up, because of the length of polling it takes a very long time before the status changes to 100% up.
It leads the casual observer to think that there is still a problem with the node - particularly a problem during destructive testing.
It would be nice therefore that either
- when NPM first detects that a node that has been down is now responding again that it polls more frequently so that it's status can change more quickly. Or
- there is an option to turn on some sort of rapid polling for a period of time.
I can understand that in normal polling it may be a good idea to 'smooth' out any irregularities but there are times that it would be much more useful to have the node change instantly between up or down.
