Because it is rather complex series of steps to create a rule which monitors some state, a separate page for rules monitor should allow one to do this. I am envisaging a page like this (with javascript)

(this may change depending on the result of #1387082: Don't make Rules a steadfast dependency)

Rules Monitor (tab name)
Monitored States (title)
-- description (from README.txt) --
State to monitor    Interval      Actions     Last checked  Next
(dropdown)          (dropdown)    Create      n/a           n/a

Once this is populated we might have

Monitored States (title)
-- description (from README.txt) --
State to monitor    Interval      Actions      Last checked  Next
View is not empty   Daily         Select which 18 hours ago  In 4 hours
                                  [view
                                  Edit rule
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

There now is a git branch for this called 1390782

Including the file rules_monitor.rules_defaults.inc in rules_monitor, whether or not the following lines exist in .info, 

features[rules_config][] = rules_rules_monitor_site_problems
features[rules_config][] = rules_rules_monitor_unpublished_comments
features[rules_config][] = rules_rules_monitor_unpublished_nodes

causes this ugly error in the test

An AJAX HTTP error occurred. HTTP Result Code: 500 Debugging information follows.

I will not attempt to create default inactive rules within this issue, rather I have moved that task to #1577654: Insert some default, inactive, rules
