Hi, @itucker8; welcome to the Keyboard Maestro forum!
Since you are a new forum user, I'm going to refer you to three references that will make your time here much more efficient:

Do you mean the Keyboard Maestro Engine is no longer running? If so, maybe you could open the Engine.log to diagnose the issue. See Help>Open Logs Folder.
With that said, you could create a macro that includes the Execute a Shell Script action. In the action you could enter the following shell commands:
ssh username@macname_or_ipaddress 'pgrep "Keyboard Maestro Engine" > /dev/null'
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
echo "1" # KM Engine is running on remote Mac.
else
echo "0" # KM Engine is not running on remote Mac.
fi
