To create a PHP monitor, follow the steps given below:

1. Find the phpstats.php file which is bundled with Applications Manager. The file is located under <Applications Manager Home>\working\resources directory.
2. Place the phpstats.php file in the web server's document root to start monitoring. Applications Manager connects to the server and retrives PHP and checks its availability.
3. Click on New Monitor link. Select PHP Monitoring.
4. Enter the IP Address or hostname of the host in which the Monitor is running.
5. Enter the SubNetMask of the network.
6. Provide the port number in which the monitor is running.
7. Choose SSL option, if SSL is enabled in PHP.
8. Enter the path to be connected. By default, ' /phpstats.php ' is shown. http://hostname:portNo/"path to be connected" will be used for connection
9. Enter the polling interval time in minutes.
10. If you are adding a new monitor from an Admin Server, select a Managed Server.
11. Choose the Monitor Group from the combo box with which you want to associate PHP Monitor (optional). You can choose multiple groups to associate your monitor.
12. Click Add Monitor(s). This discovers the PHP service from the network and starts monitoring them.

Security/Firewall Requirements: The host and port of the PHP server should be accessible from the Applications manager installed machine.
