Well, not to a process, but to a port (or regex matching the ports). As long 
as the client is reporting the ports data, this is quite trivial.

If the application listens on specific ports, then the netstat data (which the 
4.2.0 clients report by default) can be checked (and graphed if you so 
desire) by rules in the hobbit-clients.cfg. See the man page for 
hobbit-clients.cfg.
