PHP Monitoring Expanded to Support PHP 5.x Versions
Released on: April 2018PHP 5.x support refers to the continued maintenance, bug fixes, and security updates provided for versions 5.0 through 5.6 of the PHP programming language. Before introducing PHP 5.x support in Atatus monitoring, PHP 4 lacked essential features that became standard with PHP 5.x. This meant Atatus users monitoring PHP 4 applications couldn't leverage features like rewritten MySQL, prepared statements, SSL connections, multi-query functions, bound input and output parameters, XML operations as a whole, standardized XML extensions, improved error handling, or utilize SOAP extensions for simple object access protocol.

The benefits of PHP 5.x support:
- Advanced PHP Features Utilization: Efficient PHP 5.x features like rewritten MySQL, prepared statements, SSL connections, and multi-query functions for enhanced application functionality and security.
- Improved Monitoring Capabilities: Gain complete insights into PHP application performance with real-time monitoring, detailed transaction traces, and error diagnostics, enabling rapid issue identification and resolution.
- Proactive Management: Proactively manage PHP applications with PHP 5.x support in Atatus monitoring, enabling proactive issue detection, efficient troubleshooting, and continuous performance optimization.
- Business Agility: Achieve business objectives more effectively with PHP 5.x support in Atatus monitoring, ensuring high-quality web experiences, and facilitating agile decision-making based on real-time insights into application performance.
The new alerting feature is available for Browser Monitoring, Application Monitoring(APM) and Infrastructure Monitoring.
You can create a new Alert Policy, which is simply a group of rules that define conditions to create an alert. Rules can be created for following use cases:
- If ajax response time is longer than certain threshold.
- If page load time is longer than certain threshold.
- If the backend response time is longer.
- If a process takes more CPU or memory.
- If disk space of host is going above 90%.
Notification channels are available that will allow you to choose the channel via which you want to receive the alert.
