These statements are equal (see monit manual for more details:
https://mmonit.com/monit/documentation/monit.html#FAULT-TOLERANCE):
#short format:
if status !=0 for 2 cycles then alert
# long format:
if status !=0 for 2 times within 2 cycles then alert
The long format ("X within Y cycles") is useful if X != Y, which you can
achieve using short format, for example:
if status !=0 for 3 times within 5 cycles then alert
If X == Y, you can use short or long format - they work the same.
