Can you add a short note here saying something like:
"The monitor will attempt to enable the alarm control bits for all
specified events."

The rest of this looks good, thanks for the quick updates!

+NAME
+----
+ndctl-monitor - Monitor the smart events of nvdimm objects
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+[verse]
+'ndctl monitor' [<options>]
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+Ndctl monitor is used for monitoring the smart events of nvdimm
+objects and dumping the json format notifications to syslog, standard
+output or a logfile.
+
+The objects to monitor and smart events to notify can be selected by
+setting options and/or the default configuration file
+(/etc/ndctl/monitor.conf). Both of the values in configuration file
+and in options will work. If there is a conflict, the values in
+options will override the values in configuration file. The changed
+values in configuration file will work after the monitor is restarted.
+
+The smart threshold evnet alarm of dimm will be turned on when the
+monitor gets started, if it is set off.
+
+EXAMPLES
+--------
+
+Run a monitor as a daemon to monitor DIMMs on bus "nfit_test.1"
+[verse]
+ndctl monitor --bus nfit_test.1 --daemon
+
+Run a monitor as a one-shot command and output the notifications to
+/var/log/ndctl.log
+[verse]
+ndctl monitor -log /var/log/ndctl.log
+
+Run a monitor daemon as a system service
+[verse]
+systemctl start ndctl-monitor.service
+
