Hi,
apart from the sensors described in the Linux Process Monitoring article there is no native sensor which can monitor the desired parameters. However, you might write a script which queries the needed information and use the same with the SSH Script or SSH Script Advanced sensor.
Best regards

There's no examples of this? I'm not overly familiar or advanced with linux regarding the best way to approach this solution

A general example of how a script running with the SSH Script Sensor might look like, can be found in this article but I'm afraid there is no example for exactly this. Sorry.
