I think I've found a suitable solution.
I can start gmond with "-d 2" option in order to log it's activity and
then grep "heartbeat" messages. If gmond sends heartbeat messages
without errors, then the node is OK, otherwise if gmond reports
something like
>       sent message 'heartbeat' of length 8 with 1 errors
during some period of time, then the node can be consider dead.
