If this is a one-time event you're watching for, as opposed to something that
stays in a non-OK state for a period of time, then you'll want to look at the
'volatile' option for the service.  It's designed exactly for that sort of
thing.

If this is something that might be in a non-OK state for some period of time,
then is there not some way you can send a passive OK state at some point
later?  Perhaps you get a later log entry that suggests the service is
recovered which you could trap.
