processes are quite independent, and nginx don't have mechanism like
Apache's scoreborad, where every worker writes its status on. At least, you
can't get the global information about what every process are doing.
But, you may get upstream status about the worker_process who is handling
your "/monitor" request by checking every requests the worker_process is
handling? Just a thought.
