I think it has relevance to Ruby, at least I know I like to monitor my delayed_jobs/redis/sphinx using something (usually Monit).
I originally asked because I was curious how others were handling doing the same thing. You've mentioned a couple of times, "what happens if monit/init falls over" how do you manage Nagios falling over? Do you have redundant systems or just notice if an SMS hasn't come in for a while?
