Monitor database query executions

Dynatrace tracks and inspects all SQL statements and NoSQL queries sent by your application. Do you know how well your database statements scale?

Dynatrace displays the characteristics of all PHP database calls, which helps you identify database hotspots. Such insights are a decisive advantage in optimizing the performance of your website and improving your site rankings.

Get an overview on database response times, failure rates, most time consuming requests, and slowest requests.
See how your database statements perform.
See which services call the database, and a lot of details.

Track your PHP-FPM performance

Dynatrace PHP-FPM integration automatically collects FPM metrics to let you visualize and correlate them with the rest of your applications. You can also set up custom alerts that notify you if there are problems with your FPM instances. Following metrics tell about your FPM instances' health:

  • Accepted connections
  • Slow requests
  • Waiting connections
  • Max number of waiting connections
  • Active processes
  • Total processes

Additional PHP-FPM node monitoring metrics show you charts for Requests, Input buffering, and Processes.

This quick step-by-step guide shows you how to start PHP-FPM monitoring in Dynatrace.

Locate bottlenecks in your application code

Dynatrace enables you to dig into your applications and find hotspots at the code level. Locate problematic methods with CPU or network bottlenecks within the execution call stack.

Your ability to find and resolve PHP performance issues will improve significantly with Dynatrace PHP application monitoring tools.

The response time distribution charts show you how response times are distributed across web requests.
Analyze the response time of PHP modules and see the contribution of method hotspots to code execution.
See how PHP compilation influence response times.
See how database statements influence response times.
Analyze PHP execution hotspots.

Dynatrace tells you the root cause of PHP problems!

Dynatrace detects and diagnoses problems in real time, pinpointing the root cause down to the offending code before your customers are even affected.

  • Detect availability and performance problems across your stack proactively.
  • Dynatrace directly pinpoints components that are causing problems with big data analytics of billions of dependencies within your application stack.
  • A visual replay of problem evolution helps you understand how problems evolved over time.
Find the root-cause of PHP performance problems in minutes, from poorly executing code, to redundant DB queries, to memory leaks or architectural bottlenecks.
Dynatrace smart baselining learns what normal looks like for your application. Eliminate false positives and constant noise regarding response times, failure rates and throughput.
Correlate host-process log data with problems.

Automatically discover and map applications and infrastructure

Dynatrace automatically detects and visualizes your web application and its dependencies end to end: from website to application to container, infrastructure and cloud.

  • Dynatrace Smartscape provides an interactive map of your application across all layers.
  • See how all components relate to and communicate with one another.
  • Our unique solution was designed for cloud environments where instances are rapidly created and deployed, making it a perfect fit for microservices environments.

Get the full picture including network health and log file analysis

Dynatrace provides a clear picture of all inbound and outbound process connections over your network interfaces (both physical and virtual) and automatically discovers all log files on your monitored hosts and processes.

  • Leverage actual data throughput and quality of network connections between communicating hosts and processes.
  • Gain direct access and search the log content of all your system’s mission-critical processes.
  • Relevant log messages or networking anomalies are factored into the root-cause analysis of problems.
