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](https://github.com/elastic/beats/issues/new?template=feature-request.md) for that?

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

```auto
- 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.
