"Running processes appear as being down - what am I doing wrong?"

Hi all, Zenoss newbie here. I have a question for you guys about the behavior of zenprocess on Zenoss 3.2.0.
I'm using Zenoss to monitor some Oracle Database instances. I have a list of processes to monitor for each database - for each instance, they are all of the form:
ora_pmon_<instance name>
ora_smon_<instance name>
ora_ckpt_<instance name>
ora_lgwr_<instance name>
ora_dbw0_<instance name>
and so on. I came up with regexes to match these processes, so that I can use zenprocess to monitor their status. For example, the regex for ora_pmon_<instance name> is
^[^ ]*_pmon_[^ /].*
After adding the regexes for each process, when I model one of the database servers the result is that all 5 of these processes are picked up for each of 3 database instances and show in the list of "OS Processes". All of them register as being up, which is correct because I know they are all up. But, in a few minutes' time, most of them change their status to 'down'! Only one of each type (pmon, smon, etc) remains up.
Does anyone know what could cause this sort of behavior? Does this mean that I have to make a new process entry for each type of process for each database instance? Any help would be appreciated.
