It’s not really doing anything more, except doing the status on all of the units with one command. If units were to be added/removed, the command would stay the same. But I wouldn’t call this monitoring, it’s more like a health check, you get a binary (good/bad). Monitoring would expect metrics IMO, and even health checks you’d want to do on the WebUI, REST server, LDAP, KDC to see if they are responding in an expected way.
The service can be up (according to systems or ipactl) but still produce garbage.
