2018-02-20 01:34:04 +00:00
A [prometheus ](https://prometheus.io/ ) exporter for PHP-FPM.
2018-02-18 11:07:17 +00:00
The exporter connects directly to PHP-FPM and exports the metrics via HTTP.
A webserver such as NGINX or Apache is **NOT** needed!
## Features
* Export single or multiple pools
* Export to CLI as text or JSON
* Connects directly to PHP-FPM via TCP or Socket
2018-02-20 01:34:04 +00:00
* Maps environment variables to CLI options
2018-03-01 06:09:33 +00:00
* Fix for PHP-FPM metrics oddities

## Usage
2018-02-20 01:34:04 +00:00
`php-fpm_exporter` is released as [binary ](https://github.com/hipages/php-fpm_exporter/releases ) and [docker ](https://hub.docker.com/r/hipages/php-fpm_exporter/ ) image.
It uses sensible defaults which usually avoids the need to use command parameters or environment variables.
2018-02-18 11:07:17 +00:00
2018-02-20 01:34:04 +00:00
`php-fpm_exporter` supports 2 commands, `get` and `server` .
The `get` command allows to retrieve information from PHP-FPM without running as a server and exposing an endpoint.
The `server` command runs the server required for prometheus to retrieve the statistics.
### Options and defaults
| Option | Description | Environment variable | Default value |
|------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------|------------------------------|-----------------|
| `--web.listen-address` | Address on which to expose metrics and web interface. | `PHP_FPM_WEB_LISTEN_ADDRESS` | [`:9253` ](https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/wiki/Default-port-allocations ) |
| `--web.telemetry-path` | Path under which to expose metrics. | `PHP_FPM_WEB_TELEMETRY_PATH` | `/metrics` |
| `--phpfpm.scrape-uri` | FastCGI address, e.g. unix:///tmp/php.sock;/status or tcp://127.0.0.1:9000/status | `PHP_FPM_SCRAPE_URI` | `tcp://127.0.0.1:9000/status` |
2018-02-25 11:06:23 +00:00
| `--phpfpm.fix-process-count` | Enable to calculate process numbers via php-fpm_exporter since PHP-FPM sporadically reports wrong active/idle/total process numbers. | `PHP_FPM_FIX_PROCESS_COUNT` | `false` |
| `--log.level` | Only log messages with the given severity or above. Valid levels: [debug, info, warn, error, fatal] (default "error") | `PHP_FPM_LOG_LEVEL` | info |

### Why `--phpfpm.fix-process-count`?
`php-fpm_exporter` implements an option to "fix" the reported metrics based on the provided processes list by PHP-FPM.
We have seen PHP-FPM provide metrics (e.g. active processes) which don't match reality.
Specially `active processes` being larger than `max_children` and the actual number of running processes on the host.
Looking briefly at the source code of PHP-FPM it appears a scoreboard is being kept and the values are increased/decreased once an action is executed.
The metric `active processes` is also an accumulation of multiple states (e.g. Reading headers, Getting request information, Running).
Which shouldn't matter and `active processes` should still be equal or lower to `max_children` .
`--phpfpm.fix-process-count` will emulate PHP-FPMs implementation including the accumulation of multiple states.
If you like to have a more granular reporting please use `phpfpm_process_state` .

### CLI Examples
* Retrieve information from PHP-FPM running on `127.0.0.1:9000` with status endpoint being `/status`
2018-02-20 02:45:18 +00:00
```
php-fpm_exporter get
```
2018-02-18 11:07:17 +00:00
2018-02-20 01:34:04 +00:00
* Retrieve information from PHP-FPM running on `127.0.0.1:9000` and `127.0.0.1:9001`
2018-02-20 02:45:18 +00:00
```
php-fpm_exporter get --phpfpm.scrape-uri tcp://127.0.0.1:9000/status,tcp://127.0.0.1:9001/status
```
2018-02-18 11:07:17 +00:00
2018-02-20 01:34:04 +00:00
* Run as server with 2 pools:
2018-02-20 02:45:18 +00:00
```
php-fpm_exporter server --phpfpm.scrape-uri tcp://127.0.0.1:9000/status,tcp://127.0.0.1:9001/status
```
2018-02-18 11:07:17 +00:00
2018-02-25 22:36:01 +00:00
* Run as server and enable process count fix via environment variable:
```
PHP_FPM_FIX_PROCESS_COUNT=1 go run main.go server --web.listen-address ":12345" --log.level=debug
```
2018-02-20 01:34:04 +00:00
### Docker Examples
2018-02-20 02:45:18 +00:00
* Run docker manually
```
docker pull hipages/php-fpm_exporter
docker run -it --rm -e PHP_FPM_SCRAPE_URI="tcp://127.0.0.1:9000/status,tcp://127.0.0.1:9001/status" hipages/php-fpm_exporter
```
* Run the docker-compose example
```
git clone git@github.com:hipages/php-fpm_exporter.git
cd php-fpm_exporter/test
docker-compose -p php-fpm_exporter up
```
