Using monit to identify an issue/process causing the issue?

[Greg Hilton]

I have monit up and running fine, I have just installed Monit using the instructions and monitrc here (but using latest version of monit)

 

http://kb.mediatemple.net/questions/1638/How+do+I+install+Monit+on+a+%28dv%29+Dedicated-Virtual+Server%3F

 

I have created and edited monitrc,  but wanted to know how I can configure it to tell me what process is causing my issues below?

 

My issue is that I see frequent kmemsize errors in my Virtuozzo QoS logs, as below. Black zone means that a process was killed off to prevent the issue, so I am trying to track down what process is causing the issue.

I see these kind of messages from monit so far:
