You don't need 80+ API calls to get the monitors for all your pools. You can simply make one call (get_monitor_associations) and include all the pools you're interested in (But I admit that's not very resource friendly. But friendlier than 80+ calls)

 

 

Failing that... You could pull the config and parse it...

 

 

I suspect that for an API call to do what you'd want, it would have to do that anyway. Since a monitor is really only associated with a pool in the conifg. In reality, I think a monitor is associated with poolmembers... (IIRC I had a discussion like this a few years back with support).
