I can see the option to turn off monitoring for my dedicated server, but the icon has a 'no-entry' symbol on my RPS server and hovering over it says 'this option is not active/available on your server'.

However when I do this, I start getting emails from OVH saying that my RPS is no longer alive as the failover IP is being pinged to test this. Then it is put into recovery mode. I don't understand why the failover IP is used for monitoring, and not the normal one.

Does this mean I cannot use the free failover IP if I want to keep the RPS server alive at the same time?

I guess I could make sure that pings are responded to on the dedicated server on the failover IP to trick the monitoring into thinking that my RPS is still alive, but this doesn't seen a nice solution.

I am curious, how would you be able to do that?
