InfoBright Monitoring - Monitoring a Process for Change

We are using InfoBright Database. This service has a process that it spawns a process called bhloader.exe. This process takes in files and inputs it into a database and then closes. The InfoBright service can spawn several of these. The issue I need to monitor is if this process stalls out. Specifically if a single process stays running for more than a given time. With that in mind other instances of this process can be running so we would need to be able to monitor the PID and the amount of memory it is using if either does not change for a given period of time we will like to create an alert.

Does anyone have any recommendations on how to accomplish this? or anything similar?

All help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Any chance that the service starts logging to the windows event log when it "stalls out"?

If not then you might be able to write a Powershell to check on those PID's and then write out to the windows event log- the a SAM windows event log monitor will pick up your errors.
