Please can you post your monit configuration for apache service? If you're using the pidfile based monitoring, the pidfile should contain the pid of the apache master process which is parent to all apache childs. Monit then summarizes the memory of all its childs.
If you're using the pattern matching process monitoring and multiple processes match the pattern, then monit checks only the first matching process - if this process is child, then it wont see the total memory usage of the sibblings.
