Good day, Perhaps some scripting logic around expected DNS responses and network connectivity to the GTM itself would be a good place to start. 

    query @gtm_listener domain_name

      if query != 10.10.10.1
        connect == telnet gtm_host

          if connect != fail
            email "DNS resolution failure"
          else
            email "DNS resolution and connectivity to GTM are failing"

Once you understand some of the GTM logging errors, you could build email alerts around those using:

Hopefully, there's something here to at least get the thought process started.
