Logging for "Dead" Processes

Today we had an issue where a couple of our IRIS "processes" had a status of "Dead".  

How do I configure IRIS so that, when that happens, IRIS will log an event to messages.log or alerts.log?

We are forwarding the contents of both of those logs to Splunk for analysis, and I'd like to be able to see those events in there as well.

As far as I recall this isn't logged at the point the status becomes "dead" only when cleaned up.

We once wrote a scheduled task that looks for and logs these processes using IsGhost() as they can sit there a while waiting to be cleaned up at times.

There is a mention in the IRIS documentation that says these are logged to the Event Log but I am not sure what happens if you aren't using Interoperability or Productions in IRIS, I suspect there is no logging then as it is part of Production Monitoring.
