Is there a way to get check_procs to use an instantaneous value rather than a time average?

I'm trying to monitor for runaway processes, but it appears that
check_procs --metric=CPU gathers its data in such a way that it is
reporting CPU % since the process started rather than more-or-less
instantaneous. I'm watching processes that run for weeks or months, so
that entire runtime average isn't very useful. Actually, I can't think
of any situation where it _would_ be useful.
