Process Hacker is an open source alternative to the famous Process Explorer by Mark Russinovitch.

Is there in the same vein a piece of open source software that can be a serious alternative to Process monitor?

Yet Another Process Monitor is a very good open source alternative.

If you are particularly interested in taking a look at the code base, let me tell you, the code is a little messy at the moment. But its simple enough to understand whats going on under the hood.

The source code is available at sourceforge

You could try Process History, to record process starting and stopping as Process monitor does. Which is open source based on WTL, SQLite and Boost, Process Hacker.
