system.device.restart() only reaches devices listed on the gateway the project is located.

I would like to monitor devices across the gateway network and restart them if necessary.

You will need a message handler in a project on the local gateway to which to delegate, and use `system.util.sendRequest()` from the remote gateway to invoke it.
