Hi,
I want to perform monitoring of /proc/user_beancounters to see when the system hits the limits and what process is to blame.
Does anybody know tools for this issue?

You can use Nagios for monitoring this file. It is not supported out-of-the-box, but this plugin adds support for /proc/user_beancounters
.
If Nagios is too much bloat for you, you might want to take a look at these Ruby scripts which sporadically check the file for any changes and in the case the values increase, they send an e-mail: 1, 2
If you only want to have the values presented in a human-readable format, you can try the shell scripts provided here.
