Question Watchdog and PHP-FPM

[Manuel Righi]

Hello,
I have Plesk 17.0.17 on Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS.
I have PHP 7.0, PHP 5.6 and PHP from OS vendor installed.

Watchdog says me thath "PHP-FPM (FastCGI Process Manager)" is stopped ...

But Php-fpm 7.0/5.6 (served by apache or nginx) work with my domains.

I'd suggest you check watchdog logs

/usr/local/psa/var/modules/watchdog/log/wdcollect.log
/var/log/wdcollect.log
/usr/local/psa/var/modules/watchdog/log/monit.log

for related errors/messages/etc.

I've the same problem on a clean Centos 7.3 install with Plesk Onyx 17.5.3 #4.
I also have seen this Watchdog shows PHP-FPM (FastCGI Process Manager) service as down
But it doesn't help for Centos. Any idea on how to fix this?

The php-fpm Watchdog module is no longer working as its no longer customized to match Plesk’s multi PHP instances/versions.
This is a clear bug/design error.

Only way to fix this is:
1. Goto Watchdog -> PHP-FPM and change start/stop commands:
Start: /usr/local/psa/admin/bin/phpinimng --service-name=plesk-php56-fpm --type fpm --start
Stop: /usr/local/psa/admin/bin/phpinimng --service-name=plesk-php56-fpm --type fpm --start
(this is for PHP 5.6)
2. Edit /usr/local/psa/etc/modules/watchdog/monitrc
and change the line "with pidfile /var/run/php-fpm/php-fpm.pid" to: "with pidfile /run/plesk-php56-fpm.pid"
(again this is for PHP 5.6)
3. Restart monit: service monit restart

Done, monitoring and correct display of status with Plesk will work now. This is just a workaround to get it working, future Plesk updates (and any change to the watchdog settings) will probably overwrite these changes. Plesk team has to fix this to make it permanent.

Any plans from Plesk to fix this? Service monitor/automatic restart is a really important component of a reliable production server and, as we find the recommended PHP-FPM solution to be rather unreliable, it's extra important to have Watchdog taking care of all installed instances of PHP.
