Installation PHP PHP Application Performance Monitoring

Pinpoint and solve PHP application performance issues down to the line of code. New Relic is the only tool you’ll need to see everything in your PHP application—from the end user experience to server monitoring. Trace problems down to slow database queries, slow 3rd party APIs and web services, caching layers, and more.

Get the Big Picture of your PHP Application

Use the Application Overview Dashboard for general information about your app and then drill down to geographical information, web transactions and errors. In one place, you can easily see:

  • Response time
  • Apdex score
  • Throughput (requests per minute)
  • Web transactions
  • Error rate
  • Recent events
  • Server information

Find PHP Errors and Problems Fast

Whether your app is in a dedicated data center, a public cloud or a hybrid cloud, New Relic works just the same. You’ll see page load times for real users by browser and geography. Find the bottlenecks in your app pinpointed down to the line of code or SQL query. Easily see the top five web transactions, their average response times and throughput, with links to transaction traces.

  • Report on multiple applications or virtual hosts separately so you can judge individual application performance.
  • Track your most business critical transactions individually with Key Transactions, including transaction-level alerting.
  • Create your own custom metrics and custom views on those metrics.
  • Analyze application performance before and after new code deployments
  • Get alerted to application errors and exceptions - fix problems before they affect users.

Drill Down for Detailed PHP Performance Details

Our single UI monitors every detail of your app, from the end user experience, through your servers, and down to the line of code. Give your entire team access to the New Relic dashboard so they can drill down into detailed information about web transactions, including key transactions, browser traces and transaction traces. Browser traces are linked with associated web app transaction traces so you get a detailed end-to-end view of a specific user interaction.
