How to Enable and Use PHP‑FPM Status Page with Nginx

Enabling the php‑fpm status page helps analyze current PHP requests and decide whether php‑fpm parameters are set appropriately.

Nginx configuration

location /status {
    fastcgi_index index.php;
    fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
    include fastcgi_params;
    fastcgi_pass unix:/dev/shm/php-cgi.sock;
}

php‑fpm configuration

pm.status_path = /status
