It is surprisingly easy to check virsh qemu-kvm processes using monit. It suffices to supply the PID file and to stop and restart the virtual machine using virsh.

check process libvirt-example.domain with pidfile /var/run/libvirt/qemu/example.domain.pid
    start program  "/usr/bin/virsh start example.domain"
    stop program  "/usr/bin/virsh stop example.domain"
 
check host libvirt-net-example.domain with address example.domain
    start program  "/usr/bin/virsh start example.domain"
    stop program  "/usr/bin/virsh stop example.domain"
    if failed icmp type echo count 5 with timeout 15 seconds then restart
