Please consider that we might take a service offline for 5-10 minutes while developing or doing maintenance and the monitor SHOULD NOT trigger on those occasions, so write your rules accordingly.  As a template just use the swordweb monitor configuration which checks each minute and requires 20 failures over 30 checks to trigger a restart, which gives us ~20 minutes to do maintenance.
