This is what I use to monitor hosts being unreachable:

+turnedoff
type = loss
pattern = <100%,==100%,==100%
comment = host not responding

+turnedon
type = loss
pattern = ==100%,==100%,<100%
comment = host back again

I could use only one ==100%, but then I get alarms when the host is just 
quickly restarted, too.
