While not an RPM, the simplest approach for us with CentOS was to use the 
binary. We use a snippet like this in our Docker CentOS 7 containers:

   MONIT_VERSION=5.15
   # Add Monit binary
    mkdir -p /tmp/monit 
    cd /tmp/monit 
    wget 
https://bitbucket.org/tildeslash/monit/downloads/monit-${MONIT_VERSION}-linux-x64.tar.gz
 
    tar -xf monit* && cd monit* 
    rm -Rf /usr/local/bin/mont 
    mv bin/monit /usr/local/bin 
    chmod u+x /usr/local/bin/monit
    ln  /usr/local/bin/monit /usr/bin/monit

We would then copy over any configs in /etc/monit.d and then use 
"/usr/local/bin/monit -I -c /etc/monitrc -l /ebs/logs/monit/monit.log” to 
launch Monit

The rpmbuild allows to specify a target:

However creating package which will run on different distributions (or 
versions) will be tricky, as the binary will link with specific library version 
requirements. In such case it'll be better to create an rpm from our pre-build 
binaries (https://mmonit.com/monit/dist/binary/), which are universal for all 
linux distributions (we plan to create packages for various linux distributions 
and versions in the future).
