This alarm is not necessarily indicative of excessive resources being used by the server, but rather an indication that something might have changed on the server that caused extra processes.
As an example, some servers use process forking to handle client requests, like Apache httpd, which may not have a direct impact on CPU or Memory, but keeping an eye on the number of processes may reveal an increase on the traffic or a DDoS or Slowloris attack.
