What I'm saying is, in the rare chance we are down and your service can't check in, that one time we would send a false positive. We wouldn't be flapping between off and on sending you a lot of false positives. The resolution on our checks is so large (the smallest is an hour) that we won't be flooding you with emails in any case.

We don't replace something like monit to make sure your process continues to run, we are validation that one-off periodic things run... things that are easy to forget about but are important.

Yeah, I'm not terribly worried by that kind of failure, if that happens, a bunch of other things have already gone wrong. I would like something to keep track of all processes, though, that can back up monit. Good to know it's got some slack in the tolerances, I'll give it a try.
