No monitoring of services after install

I've installed Monit 5.9 on my Debian Jessie (8.0) machine from the repositories. However, after configuring and starting up monit I can view the web-interface but no services are showing.

some config-vars from monitrc

set daemon 60            # check services at 2-minute intervals
set logfile syslog facility log_daemon
set httpd port 2812 and
use address 1.2.3.4         ### server ip (now changed to 1.2.3.4
allow someUser:somePassword

include /etc/monit/conf.d/*

example of my config for sshd

x1@srv1:~$ sudo tail /etc/monit/monitrc.d/sshd
check process sshd with pidfile /var/run/sshd.pid
start program "/etc/init.d/ssh start"
stop program "/etc/init.d/ssh stop"
if failed port 2886 protocol ssh then restart
if 5 restarts within 5 cycles then timeout

x1@srv1:~$ ls -l /var/run/sshd.pid
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4 Jan  4 12:16 /var/run/sshd.pid

x1@srv1:~$ ls -l /etc/init.d/ssh
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4077 Oct 21 20:04 /etc/init.d/ssh
