Monit shows also incorrect system memory usage and zero for cpu and load 
average:

--8<--
'system' load average [0.00][0.00][0.00]
'system' memory usage 819140.0% [-314220 kB]
'system' cpu usage 0.0%us 0.0%sy 0.0%wa
--8<--

This is most probably caused by VDS setup too (however we can fix the 
invalid value in memory usage - it should be zero).

Summary:
Hidden processes monitoring, system-wide and per-process cpu load, 
memory and cpu usage statistics will not work in VDS jail (monit can't 
acess these informations, because system administrator denied it), other 
monit functions should work.
