Monitor if a process is running or stopped

Hi!

I'm trying to do a seemingly simple task of monitoring whether a process is running or stopped on an Ubuntu host. For example I want to know if a Java and Python based app are running or down. I'm aware there are some Metricbeat modules that allow you to monitor Java process that require the Jolokia library, but all I want is just an "running", "stopped" type field to indicate if something is running or stopped.

Is there a way to do this with Metricbeat?

Yes with Metricbeat with the system module and process metricset
