PHP FPM Logs and Metrics Monitoring
Gain complete visibility into your PHP FPM instances with real-time health, performance, and resource utilization tracking. Detect bottlenecks instantly, optimize resource allocation, and maintain a high-performing, stable application even during traffic surges and resource fluctuations.
PHP-FPM Breaks Under Real Load
Opaque worker lifecycle
Worker spawn, reuse, and termination behavior is not visible at runtime, making saturation hard to explain.
Request execution ambiguity
Highly variable PHP request runtimes block workers unpredictably, with no clear attribution.
Slowlog blind correlation
Slowlog entries lack request-level context, forcing manual reconstruction of execution paths.
Process-level noise
PHP-FPM logs operate at process boundaries, burying meaningful execution signals in volume.
Concurrency saturation uncertainty
Max children limits are hit under burst traffic without visibility into which code paths caused contention.
Upstream dependency masking
Database or external service delays surface as PHP latency, obscuring the true source of slowdown.
State loss on reloads
Worker restarts discard in-flight execution state, limiting post-incident analysis.
Production debugging friction
Answering basic performance questions requires SSH access and manual log analysis.
Get Deep Visibility Into PHP-FPM Performance With Unified Logs and Metrics
Monitor PHP-FPM request handling and process behavior together with log data so you can understand how FastCGI workers perform and where bottlenecks emerge in production.
Unknown PHP-FPM Request Timing Patterns
Without real-time metrics, it is difficult to understand how long FastCGI requests take and how much PHP-FPM contributes to overall request latency.
Worker Process Performance Is Opaque
PHP-FPM manages pools of worker processes, and without visibility into their lifecycle and execution behavior, overloaded or idle workers can quietly slow request handling.
High Load Can Mask Slowdowns
Traffic spikes and high request rates can hide throughput drops in PHP-FPM pools, and tracking throughput trends reveals when performance begins to degrade.
Logs Buried on Hosts Are Hard to Correlate
Local PHP-FPM logs show raw events, but central ingestion allows you to correlate logs with metrics and understand how pool behavior impacts request delivery.
Process Utilization Trends Are Hidden
CPU and memory usage patterns of PHP-FPM workers influence response times, and correlating resource utilization with request metrics reveals when resource pressure causes slowdowns.
Execution-Centric PHP-FPM Observability
Teams choose Atatus when PHP-FPM behavior must be understood at the execution and process level, not inferred from surface metrics.
Request process mapping
Engineers can reason about how individual PHP requests consume workers and execution time.
Runtime truth first
Production behavior is derived from real execution data instead of averaged assumptions.
Fast system comprehension
Live PHP-FPM state becomes understandable without deep manual investigation.
Low operational disruption
Fits into existing PHP-FPM setups without altering request handling or deployments.
Backend-first clarity
Observability aligns with how backend engineers debug PHP in real systems.
Incident reconstruction speed
Teams rebuild execution timelines quickly instead of stitching logs post-failure.
Concurrency-safe visibility
System behavior remains explainable as traffic, workers, and complexity increase.
Shared execution context
Platform, SRE, and backend teams operate from the same runtime facts.
Operational confidence
Teams tune, deploy, and scale PHP-FPM knowing execution behavior stays visible.
