Preparing the Integration

Enable Status Path

For the exporter to generate metrics, you need to configure some parameters in PHP-FPM to expose the status path. These configuration parameters are:

pm.status_path
listen

Here is an example of how to configure them in Kubernetes:

apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
    labels:
      app: php-fpm
    name: php-fpm-config
    namespace: php-fpm
data:
  www.conf: |
    [www]
    listen=127.0.0.1:9000
    pm.status_path=/status    

apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
  name: php-fpm-app
  namespace: php-fpm
  labels:
    app: php-fpm
    pod: php-app
spec:
  selector:
    matchLabels:
      app: php-fpm
  replicas: 3
  template:
    metadata:
      labels:
        app: php-fpm
        pod: php-app
    spec:
      containers:
      - image: php:7.2-fpm
        imagePullPolicy: Always
        name: php-fpm
        ports:
        - containerPort: 9000
          protocol: TCP
        # Config-map include
        volumeMounts:
          - name: php-fpm-config
            mountPath: /usr/local/etc/php-fpm.d/www.conf
            subPath: www.conf
      volumes:
        - configMap:
            defaultMode: 420
            name: php-fpm-config
          name: php-fpm-config

An automated wizard is present in the Monitoring Integrations in Sysdig Monitor. However, you can also use this Helm chart for expert users: https://github.com/sysdiglabs/integrations-charts/tree/main/charts/php-fpm-exporter

Monitoring and Troubleshooting PHP-FPM

This document describes important metrics and queries that you can use to monitor and troubleshoot PHP-FPM.

Tracking metrics status

You can track PHP-FPM metrics status with following alerts: Exporter proccess is not serving metrics

# [PHP-FPM] Exporter Process Down
absent(phpfpm_up{kube_cluster_name=~$cluster,kube_namespace_name=~$namespace,kube_workload_name=~$workload}) > 0
