This package can be configured to monitor php5-fpm through its built in ping and status pages. It can then restart php5-fpm if it detects a failure and also optionally notify you of the failure with the last successful status output.

It is not designed as a permanent solution for problems with php-fpm, more a tool to help you handle failure while the problems can be interrogated by notifying you of the state of the last success. Typically the problems might be a mis-configured fpm pool and the log of the last status before failure will hopefully help diagnose those issues.

Install with composer:

1. Add to composer:

   "require": { ... "kevbaldwyn/php-fpm-monitor":"dev-master" ... }

2. Composer Update:

   $ composer update kevbaldwyn/php-fpm-monitor

3. Copy the yaml config.example.yml file to a convenient location and configure the options as you require. It should work without notifications out of the box.

The package provides a binary which will be located in vendor/bin/monitor. Basic useage requires passing the config yaml file path to the command as the first argument. All other options are optional.

$ vendor/bin/monitor check /var/www/config.yml

Passing the help -h flag shows all options. To set the host and port to ping php-fpm for example:

$ vendor/bin/monitor check /var/www/config.yml -l http://example.com -p 80

The idea is that this command is then run from cron periodically to check the state of php-fpm and will automatically restart the service if it is down.

This tool requires the status and ping pages to be correctly setup. More info on this can be found here: https://rtcamp.com/tutorials/php/fpm-status-page/

There are 2 built in failure handlers : KevBaldwyn\PhpFpmMonitor\FailureHandlers\PhpFpmRestart which restarts php-fpm and KevBaldwyn\PhpFpmMonitor\FailureHandlers\NotifyHipChat. Both of these can be further configured in the yaml config.

To specify which FailureHandlers run you simply list the fully namespaced classes in the restart_handlers config array.

You can write your own handlers by implementing KevBaldwyn\PhpFpmMonitor\OnFailureInterface. This receives the following method call which contains the full config, as defined in the yaml file, and the last successful status response in json format.

public function handle(array $config, $lastSuccessStatus);
