What is PHP-FPM?
The PHP FastCGI Process Manager, often just called PHPFPM is an Open Source SAPI (Server Application Programming Interface) interface allowing communication between a web server and PHP application code. It is based upon the FastCGI protocol and is often seen as an alternative PHP server implementation option for heavy traffic websites.
PHP-FPM is bundled with the official PHP distribution since version 5.3.3.
PHP-FPM monitoring
ServicePilot monitors PHP-FPM using either the HTTP status page or a FPM socket.
This package automatically configures the ServicePilot Agent in order to monitor availability and performance of PHP-FPM.
The statistics gathered in this way for urls and pools are:
- Accepted connections: The number of requests accepted by the pool
- Listen queue: The number of requests in the queue of pending connections (see backlog in listen(2))
- Max listen queue: The maximum number of requests in the queue of pending connections since FPM has started
- Listen queue length: The size of the socket queue of pending connections
- Idle processes: The number of idle processes
- Active processes: The number of active processes
- Total processes: The number of idle + active processes
- Max active processes: The maximum number of active processes since FPM has started
- Max children reached: Number of times, the process limit has been reached, when pm tries to start more children (works only for pm 'dynamic' and 'ondemand')
- Slow requests: Number of slow requests
