I think you are asking the question in the wrong way: You'll have to choose a timeout value that fails in less than 0.x of all cases when the resource is fine, while it fails in (1 - 0.x) cases when the resource has a problem (assuming the monitor just hangs if there is a problem). It's up to you to select the x (via timeout of monitor) that fits your needs.

In a nutshell: short timeouts may produce errors when there are none, long timeouts may cause extra delays when there is a problem.

BTW: Having an extra round of monitoring is equivalent to doubling the timeout value; isn't it?
