Metricbeat / php-fpm by fast-cgi protocol and multi pools

[Claude_Brassel]

Hi
I have multiple php servers that host only the php-fpm process, is they're any way to get metric beat extracting metrics from the php-fpm status page accessing it only by fast-cgi protocol ?
And by the way how does it handle multi-pool configurations ?

Regard's
Claude

Hey @Claude_Brassel, welcome to discuss

The php_fpm module of Metricbeat doesn't support fastcgi at the moment, but I think it would be nice to support it, could you please open an enhancement request for that?

And by the way how does it handle multi-pool configurations ?

Not sure if this answers this question, but Metricbeat modules can point to multiple hosts, e.g. something like this:

- module: php_fpm
  metricsets:
  - pool
  status_path: "/status"
  hosts:
    - "localhost:8080"
    - "localhost:8081"
    - "localhost:8082"
  ...

Each event collected by the pool metricset contains a php_fpm.pool.name field with the name of the pool, so you can differentiate the metrics when querying them.
