The Is alive card will be used if you want to get a alert if a device has not been checkin in in ttl amount of minutes. You should fill the name of the device you are monitoring and the value. The value is only used to  save the valu eof last checkin

Example: This will checkin at WD every time temperature is changes, and if time after last checkin is passed 360 minutes, the alarm will fire.

So it's up to you to find a reasonable value to monitor and set the ttl time to a value that may indicate it's not alive any more.

tip:

It's a good idea to monitor multiple event from one device, the important move here is to gather some indication about the device to be alive.
