I have got a better solution for Linux process monitoring that I've been meaning to upload to the exchange (both SNMP and SSH). It gets a little over-bearing using Regular Expressions, but we've used it to great effect after we migrated into LogicMonitor. I have to do a bunch of cleanup for it to anonymize it and make it clear how to use it, but I'll see if I can finish it up this week. It was developed with multi-instance Active Discovery in mind, because adding instances manually is a huge no-no to me ?
That being said, my personal belief is that process monitoring is wholly insufficient for monitoring the state of your hosts and processes (good for collecting metrics, though). I would encourage folks to investigate how they can introspect the health of their process/services via whatever means available when possible (Think: performing a DB query instead of monitoring for MySQL/Postgres; Running `service <name> status` commands instead of simply checking if the process is running, etc). This takes a little more work, but is ABSOLUTELY worth the time investment.
I'll update this thread when I think I've got this uploaded.
