Without the monitoring server it was successful. Then I dig into the issue and found the issue is related to the linked server mentioned in the error. (The server 'LOGSHIPLINK_% ' already exists.) The secondary server in the environment was recently built. So all the linked servers in the primary server are created manually in the secondary server as well. However the linked server mentioned in the error is related to log shipping and it should create through the log shipping process. So I dropped that linked server from secondary server and then setup the log shipping again and this time it was successful. Then I checked the existence of the same linked server in secondary server, and it was there again.
Just thought of sharing the information. Cheers for reading the blog post.
