If the DS is one of the regular SNMP modules, this data would not be available typically (need to enable and define automatic instance properties). OTOH, process monitoring with the normal SNMP method is nearly useless since they use the process ID as the wildvalue and the process ID sometimes changes for perfectly good reasons. We just ran into this with Puppet_Agent_Process after a bunch of alerts following maintenance reboots. Ideally, datapoints could include a trigger capability to (for example) cause AD to run (like if a reboot has happened). Since that is not possible without API integration we just scrapped that module and wrote our own. We still track PID so we can detect flapping, but not as the wildvalue. There is a module called LinuxNewProcesses- you may want to look at as an example -- if there are fields not stored as auto properties, they could be added and then referenced as tokens.
