+.TP
+.B threshold
+.br
+The threshold specifies the cluster size exceeding which the link monitoring
+algorithm will switch from "full-mesh" to "overlapping-ring".
+If set of 0 the overlapping-ring monitoring is always on and if set to a
+value larger than anticipated cluster size the overlapping-ring is disabled.
+The default value is 32.

+.SS Monitor information
+
+.TP
+.B table_generation
+.br
+Represents the event count in a node's local monitoring list. It steps every
+time something changes in the local monitor list, including changes in the
+local domain.
+
+.TP
+.B cluster_size
+.br
+Represents the current count of cluster members.
+
+.TP
+.B algorithm
+.br
+The current supervision algorithm used for neighbour monitoring for the bearer.
+Possible values are full-mesh or overlapping-ring.
+
+.TP
+.B status
+.br
+The node status derived by the local node.
+Possible status are up or down.
+
+.TP
+.B monitored
+.br
+Represent the type of monitoring chosen by the local node.
+Possible values are direct or indirect.
+
+.TP
+.B generation
+.br
+Represents the domain generation which is the event count in a node's local
+domain. Every time something changes (peer add/remove/up/down) the domain
+generation is stepped and a new version of node record is sent to inform
+the neighbors about this change. The domain generation helps the receiver
+of a domain record to know if it should ignore or process the record.
+
+.TP
+.B applied_node_status
+.br
+The node status reported by the peer node for the succeeding peers in
+the node list. The Node list is a circular list of ascending addresses
+starting with the local node.
+Possible status are: U or D. The status U implies up and D down.
+
+.TP
+.B [non_applied_node:status]
+.br
+Represents the nodes and their status as reported by the peer node.
+These nodes were not applied to the monitoring list for this peer node.
+They are usually transient and occur during the cluster startup phase
+or network reconfiguration.
+Possible status are: U or D. The status U implies up and D down.
