PHP files being called by Shell Script
Hello guys, first of all sorry for the bad english (and bad title).
I have an PHP application here who have some PHP files being called by Shell Scripts, but when I search in the PurePaths tab I cant find the PHP request on the PurePaths list. I believe this happens because the shell calls the PHP file at the local machine and it is not considered a Web Request (???).
The question is, there's a way to monitor these PHP called by Shell Scripts?
thank you and sorry for the bad english (no google translator this time 
).
You will have to define the method that is being called by your shell script directly as an entry point. This should give you PurePaths then.
Thank you for your response but I didnt understand it well. (sorry for the awful english).
How I define methods as an entry point? I should create a sensor rule in the PHP Sensor Group with the name of the PHP file the shell script are calling? (Well, I cant express my question well in english).
Thanks for the help.
Yes, you can montitor those PHP requests. Conditions are:
- you need a running webserveragent
- the webserver sensor has to be "active and start pure path"
- your php.ini (for PHP CLI) has to load the agent as an extension
- after loading the agent the php.ini needs an entry to activate the agent for CLI !!!
example php.ini:
...
extension=/opt/dynatrace/agent/lib64/libdtagent.so
dtphpagent.useAgentForCmdLine = true
then you should get a purepath
Harald, thanks for the help but I already have the PHP agent up and running.
I'll make an example to make it better. (bad english and mispelling incoming).
- I have a routine scheduled in cron, who loads routine.sh every 10 minutes
- routine.sh loads checklist.php
- I cant see the request checklist.php on my purepaths tab... WHY? There's a way to enable it?
are you saying that you already have defined dtphpagent.useAgentForCmdLine = true in your php.ini ?
Oh, sorry, I didn't pay attention to the last line hahaha, Thank you it worked!
But now my application are using at least SIX agents. Have any way to solve this? or it'll use an agent to each new process? (sorry for the bad english!)
Anyone know something about the question above?
thank you.
when you can see 6 PHP agents in the agent overview, do you have a PHP process running for each of these agents?
the agent's name in the overview contains the PID of the unix process running your PHP. are these ID's still active processes?
Well
I opened the agent overview as you suggested and I didn't find anything like a PID there...
there's a screenshot.
Anything that I'm missing?
looks strange...
is each of these agents started by an execution of your PHP script in the cron, I mean one after the other, while existing ones are never removed from the list?
