OK, good point - i see it could be confusing, we'll document it. M/Monit shows 
charts only for the services which are monitored by Monit ... not all system 
processes. To enable graphs, It is sufficient to add just "check process" 
statement with either pidfile or process pattern (no start/stop/restart is 
needed if you don't plan to use Monit for process starting.
