Monitor a Process

Hi all, I've been monitoring some processes in our *nix and windows environments. I had a question, is there a way to specifically monitor and graph performance of a process. One of our major apps uses java.exe, well I'm monitoring it to see if it's up but not capturing if it's running away with memory and so on. Suggestions welcome and as always thanks!

Nagios supports graphing using a few frontend methods, but basically they all rely on performance data. Perfdata is sent along with the service/host status in a form like:
for a simple example. That 12ms could be the time a ping took, or how long a command ran on the target machine. That then gets graphed via Highcharts or a similar graphing library.
