I think that testing that it _should_ be of particular scope will be
easier to understand than testing what it should not be. Can this instead
be a positive check of:
	snc_mode = r->mon_scope == RESCTRL_L3_NODE;

I find this to be too subtle and potentially confusing since it uses
d->ci->id interchangeable for both SNC and non-SNC mode. I understand
that in non-SNC mode the domain id will be the same as the cache id
but I would prefer that the code use the data structures as intended
instead of relying backdoor on assumptions. Something like:

	sprintf(name, "mon_%s_%02d", r->name, snc_mode ? d->ci->id : d->hdr.id);
