I'd just use the standard monitoring_plugins interface monitor. As long as you're monitoring a shared IP interface, you'll be able to see the info for all interfaces in the stack.

If you're large enough to run a stack of these things though, and even if you just have > 1 of them, I highly suggest LibreNMS. Will give you a lot more than just up/down status.
