Hello,
monit checks the service in intervals given by the "set daemon <x>" settings. If the interval between checks is long or the check is blocked by some service timeout/action, then the interval can be longer.
Please can you check the "set daemon" settings and run monit in debug mode?:
1.) stop monit
2.) monit -vI
Best regards,
Martin

There are a couple of systems that I cannot install monit on that I still need to be aware of any downtime, so I have added them as ping checks in the monitrc on the host where I installed m/monit. Yesterday, one of those remote systems went down, but monit and m/monit didn’t report an alert for it and still have its status as OK. Using anonymized information, the entry in the monitrc on host1 is:
