Hello Alan, you can use something like this to enable memory monitoring only. check process blob matching “blob-process” start program "your command" stop program "your command" if memory usage > 8 MB then alert mode passive Monit does not start the application, the mode is passive, but monitor the matched process. But you should not stop the application via monit, because the service became "Not monitored" and the memory check will disabled also.
A suggestion only, with regards, Lutz p.s. See https://mmonit.com/monit/documentation/monit.html#SERVICE-MONITORING-MODE and https://mmonit.com/monit/documentation/monit.html#Process-resource-tests -- To unsubscribe: https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/monit-general
