Learn about the Wavefront PHP-FPM Integration.

PHP-FPM Integration

PHP-FPM (FastCGI Process Manager) is a PHP FastCGI implementation with features that are useful for sites of any size. This integration installs and configures Telegraf to send PHP-FPM metrics into Wavefront. Telegraf is a light-weight server process capable of collecting, processing, aggregating, and sending metrics to a Wavefront proxy.

In addition to setting up the metrics flow, this integration also installs a dashboard. Here are the Overview and Cluster Resources sections of a dashboard displaying PHP-FPM metrics:

To see a list of the metrics for this integration, select the integration from https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/tree/master/plugins/inputs.

PHP-FPM Setup

Step 1. Install the Telegraf Agent

This integration uses the phpfpm input plugin for Telegraf. If you’ve already installed Telegraf on your server(s), you can skip to Step 2.

Log in to your Wavefront instance and follow the instructions in the Setup tab to install Telegraf and a Wavefront proxy in your environment. If a proxy is already running in your environment, you can select that proxy and the Telegraf install command connects with that proxy. Sign up for a free trial to check it out!

Step 2. Configure the PHP-FPM Input Plugin

Create a phpfpm.conf file in /etc/telegraf/telegraf.d and add the following snippet:

   [[inputs.phpfpm]]
   #   ## Plugin can be configured using http mode as below:
   #   ##   - http: the URL must start with http:// or https://, ie:
   #   ##       "http://host-ip/status"
        urls = ["http://<host-ip>/status"]

** Note ** : Multiple URLs are not supported. You must install a Telegraf agent on each PHP-FPM host.

Step 3. Restart Telegraf

Run sudo service telegraf restart to restart your Telegraf agent.
