It was fixed in monit 5.0 ... changelog excerpt:
--8<--
* Support use of symbolic links in filesystem check. Thanks to
Aleksander Kamenik for suggestion. Example:
check filesystem rootfs path
/dev/disk/by-uuid/4ef973f7-67d1-4bb0-8223-cb1c692b72e4
if space usage > 95% then alert
if inode usage > 95% then alert
--8<--
you can get monit version using 'monit -V'
