Besides the other replies, there are also existing process exporters which may fit your use case. I've been using this one: https://github.com/ncabatoff/process-exporter Just expect that it may accumulate some CPU time over time (which is not necessarily a problem with that implementation; older monitoring tools might use "ps" for such checks and cpu time will never be tracked for them as one would only have short-living processes compared to process_exporter).
