Re: False positive.

[Martin Pala]

Hello,

if you use "check process ... matching ..." then the fork/clone is problem, as 
it creates temporarily non-unique process. It is better to use pidfile based 
check in such case:

        check process myprocess with pidfile /path/to/pidfile

You can also suppress the PID/PPID change events:

        set alert address@hidden but not on { pid, ppid }

See Monit manual for mail filter details:

Regards,
Martin
