And in case by monitoring you mean just whether the salt master and salt minions are up and running, you can use a general-purpose monitoring solutions like:
In fact, these tools can monitor different services on the hosts they know about. The host can be any machine that has an ip address and the service can be any resource that can be queried via the underlying OS. Example of host can be a server, router, printer... And example of service can be memory, disk, a process, ...
