Looking to Monitor multiple linux sub processes

Hello we are monitoring a linux process. Lets call it PROBLEM. There are two versions of this process. PROBLEM -subprocess1, and PROBLEM -subprocess2.

The problem with SAM is, it will only alert if both of those processes go down. It would be nice if you could alert if one of the instances goes down?

I see there is a command line filter but I'm not sure how to implement that so both sub-processes are monitored, if I put one of the processes in the command line filter, I can't seem to monitor it again with the other one? Any help would be appreciated.

Ok I have added the process with the subprocess command line filter but it seems you can't have 2 processes monitored with the same process name. I'm going to put a case in.

I have PROBLEM -subprocess1 monitored and the other monitors the correct process but in SAM its name shows up as PROCESS MONITOR

Almost sounds like the name of the component in the SAM Template?

Exactly...it seems it takes that as the name if the process name is already there. .
