  Yes, but I think this kind of monitoring appeared because SysV initscript
is not reliable in determining service status. Even "status" command sometimes
checkes only existence of PID file, not the real status.
  In world with systemd, monitoring can just ask systemd if service is running.
Systemd will provide reliable answer, and if service is not running, will
provide information for how long it is stopped and what was the reason 
for failure.
