A couple of issues with the unit file:

1) Monit will not be restarted if it crashes. Can you add Restart=always to the unit?
2) Because the unit is set to start after network.target, it's possible that some services that Monit is intended to monitor have not started when Monit is started. Can this be changed to default.target, so that Monit is only started after the default target is reached? (Is this a sensible way of dealing with this?)

Additional info:
* monit 5.5-2
This task depends upon

If you add Restart=always, you might also want to add RestartSec=60, since monit will usually send out e-mails as it starts and stops, and we want to avoid DoSing the administrator if there's an ongoing problem.

OK, this actually needs to be After=multi-user.target. Otherwise, systemd complains about an ordering loop (because monit has WantedBy=multi-user.target).

The same systemd unit file can be found in the upstream released tarball inside the contrib/ subdirectory. So if you want some changes, ask upstream developers first: https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?func=additem&group=monit

But anyway, you can customize the unit files on your system as described here:
