Hi,

sorry for long delay.

The configuration and the reported values are OK … the problem is simple - the 
attached snapshot of the Monit httpd interface report is from the main page 
(overview) which doesn't show the total memory usage, but only the memory usage 
of the process itself … in your case it matches the 'ps aux' output for the 
parent apache process with PID 24120 (10692kB => 0.6%). To display the total 
memory usage (including children) you need to click on the "Apache" link which 
will open details for the process and the total memory will be displayed in the 
table row with the title "Total memory usage (incl. children)". 

Regards,
Martin
