PHP-FPM

PHP FastCGI Process Manager (PHP-FPM) is an alternative FastCGI daemon for PHP that allows a website to handle high loads. PHP-FPM maintains pools (workers that can respond to PHP requests) to accomplish this. PHP-FPM is faster than traditional CGI-based methods, such as SUPHP, for multi-user PHP environments.

PHP-FPM by HTTP

Overview

For Zabbix version: 6.4 and higher
The template to monitor PHP-FPM by Zabbix that work without any external scripts. Most of the metrics are collected in one go, thanks to Zabbix bulk data collection.

Template PHP-FPM by HTTP collects metrics by polling PHP-FPM status-page with HTTP agent remotely.

Note that this solution supports https and redirects.

This template was tested on:

  • PHP, version 7

Setup

See Zabbix template operation for basic instructions.

  1. Open the php-fpm configuration file and enable the status page as shown.

    pm.status_path = /status
    ping.path = /ping
  2. Validate the syntax is fine before we reload the service

    $ php-fpm7 -t
  3. Reload the php-fpm service to make the change active

    $ systemctl reload php-fpm
  4. Next, edit your Nginx server block (virtual host) configuration file and add the location block below in it.

    # Enable php-fpm status page
    location ~ ^/(status|ping)$ {
    ## disable access logging for request if you prefer
    access_log off;
    
    ## Only allow trusted IPs for security, deny everyone else
    # allow 127.0.0.1;
    # allow 1.2.3.4;    # your IP here
    # deny all;
    
    fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
    fastcgi_index index.php;
    include fastcgi_params;
    ## Now the port or socket of the php-fpm pool we want the status of
    fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
    # fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php-fpm/your_socket.sock;
    }
  5. Check the syntax $ nginx -t

  6. Reload Nginx $ systemctl reload nginx

  7. Verify curl -L 127.0.0.1/status

If you use another location of status/ping page, don't forget to change {$PHP_FPM.STATUS.PAGE}/{$PHP_FPM.PING.PAGE} macro.

If you use an atypical location for PHP-FPM status-page don't forget to change the macros {$PHP_FPM.SCHEME},{$PHP_FPM.PORT}.

Zabbix configuration

No specific Zabbix configuration is required.
