I’m sure others may have more information, but in order to create a notification you need to “create” a hard state change. Having said that, you would need to run some sort of check command that would check what you wanted, in your case it would be a number of named process.

have read as much doc on notifications as I can find. Everything refers to the idea that Nagios will send notifications for hosts or service that experience a HARD state change. Well, Ok... but I want to monitor a service, say a process by name on an nrpe monitored server. If the number of that named process drops below X I want to get a notification. Is this possible or is there some way that I can force that situation to CREATE a HARD state change? I always see it in the logs as a SOFT change and of course, no notification.
Any advice very much welcome.
