Building a reliable uptime monitoring model

Get a plugin that checks the actual device uptime value.

You can then alert on it when values of uptime are less than whatever 
suits your check frequency and max check attempts values eg 30 minutes. 
How you actually check is going to be dependent on the OS of the device

For Windows servers I use
check_wmi_plus.pl -m checkuptime
This particular plugin also provides performance data and I get a nice 
graph like this -


I also do that same thing (using other plugins) for linux, wireless 
access points etc

I imagine that SNMP probably can get at the uptime values for various 
devices also.
