Hi Heinrich
Please see below, very good discussion on Sharepoint Monitor, I did say earlier ask your web administrator to create a health check page for you, configure your monitor to request the page and based on the response from the web server you can mark offline or online.

HI
 
Ok your monitor is a tcp monitor, here is a pretty good link explaining a tcp monitor https://devcentral.f5.com/s/articles/monitoring-tcp-applications-01
 
you can stop the app pool and see if you can open a connection to the web server if it responds then the tcp monitor will mark the server as green. If it does not respond when you open up a connection and the monitor is still marking the server as green, then it something we can look at.
 
I suggest you ask the web admin to setup a test page for you change your monitor to a https monitor if https is required, then configure a send string link I have posted earlier.
