Host

To configure this check for an Agent running on a host:

1. Edit the php_fpm.d/conf.yaml file, in the conf.d/ folder at the root of your Agent’s configuration directory. See the sample php_fpm.d/conf.yaml for all available configuration options:

   init_config:
   
   instances:
     ## @param status_url - string - required
     ## Get metrics from your FPM pool with this URL
     ## The status URLs should follow the options from your FPM pool
     ## See http://php.net/manual/en/install.fpm.configuration.php
     ##   * pm.status_path
     ## You should configure your fastcgi passthru (nginx/apache) to catch these URLs and
     ## redirect them through the FPM pool target you want to monitor (FPM `listen`
     ## directive in the config, usually a UNIX socket or TCP socket.
     #
     - status_url: http://localhost/status
   
       ## @param ping_url - string - required
       ## Get a reliable service check of your FPM pool with `ping_url` parameter
       ## The ping URLs should follow the options from your FPM pool
       ## See http://php.net/manual/en/install.fpm.configuration.php
       ##   * ping.path
       ## You should configure your fastcgi passthru (nginx/apache) to
       ## catch these URLs and redirect them through the FPM pool target
       ## you want to monitor (FPM `listen` directive in the config, usually
       ## a UNIX socket or TCP socket.
       #
       ping_url: http://localhost/ping
   
       ## @param use_fastcgi - boolean - required - default: false
       ## Communicate directly with PHP-FPM using FastCGI
       #
       use_fastcgi: false
   
       ## @param ping_reply - string - required
       ## Set the expected reply to the ping.
       #
       ping_reply: pong
   

2. Restart the Agent.

Containerized

For containerized environments, see the Autodiscovery Integration Templates for guidance on applying the parameters below.

Extras

Multiple pools

It is possible to monitor multiple PHP-FPM pools using the same proxy server, a common scenario when running on Kubernetes. To do so, modify your server’s routes to point to different PHP-FPM instances. Here is an example NGINX configuration:

server {
    ...

    location ~ ^/(status1|ping1)$ {
        access_log off;
        fastcgi_pass instance1_ip:instance1_port;
        include fastcgi_params;
        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
    }

    location ~ ^/(status2|ping2)$ {
        access_log off;
        fastcgi_pass instance2_ip:instance2_port;
        include fastcgi_params;
        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
    }
}

If you find this approach too tedious at scale, setting use_fastcgi to true instructs the check to bypass any proxy servers and communicate directly with PHP-FPM using FastCGI. The default port is 9000 for when omitted from status_url or ping_url.

Unix sockets

If your PHP-FPM installation uses unix sockets, you have to use the below syntax for status_url, ping_url and enable use_fastcgi:

Note: With Autodiscovery, if the Agent runs in a separate container/task/pod, it doesn’t have access to the Unix sockets file of your FPM pool. It order to address this, run the Agent as a sidecar.
