“service” name is not the same as “process” name … service name in Monit is
unique description of the monitored service - not related to the monitored
object. If you have multiple processes with the same process name, you can
monitor them, just choose unique service name for each process:
check process myprocess_XYZ with pidfile /var/run/myprocess1.pid
check process myprocess_ABC with pidfile /var/run/myprocess2.pid
