Re: Checking process with unknown PID

[Martin Pala]

Hello,

you can use the pattern based process check, for example:

        check process myproc matching "/usr/bin/myprocess"

The pattern has to be unique, you can check the pattern using CLI procmatch 
command:

        monit procmatch FFMpeg

Regards,
Martin
