The New Relic APM PHP agent monitors your application to help you identify and solve performance issues. The PHP agent consists of a PHP extension (which collects data from your application) and a local proxy daemon (which transmits the data to New Relic).
The PHP agent supports many of the most common PHP releases, PHP frameworks, databases, and libraries. Prior to installation, please ensure your system meets the compatibility requirements.
To get started with installation, see the PHP Agent installation documentation. The PHP agent pre-built package includes the interactive newrelic-install
script, which automates some installation tasks. Also, see our advanced installation documentation for Docker or other container installations.
See our Introduction to New Relic for PHP to learn how to use the PHP agent with your application.
For instructions on how to build and test the agent, please see our development guide.
Should you need assistance with New Relic products, you are in good hands with several support diagnostic tools and support channels.
Troubleshooting
For help with framework troubleshooting, this guide steps you through common framework troubleshooting questions.
New Relic offers NRDiag, a client-side diagnostic utility that automatically detects common problems with New Relic agents. If NRDiag detects a problem, it suggests troubleshooting steps. If you have a New Relic Support Plan, NRDiag can also automatically attach troubleshooting data to a New Relic Support ticket.
If the issue is confirmed as a bug or is a feature request, please file a GitHub issue.
