Addressing Multiple Instances in a Single APM Insight Application - "PHP-Application"
Issue Overview:
By default, the PHP Agent configures the application name as "PHP-Application" in APM Insight. This default setting causes multiple PHP applications to be discovered under the same APM Insight Application, leading to data usage limit exceedance per application.
Steps to Update the Application Name in PHP Agent
1. Run the Configuration Command: To update the application name, execute the following command on each PHP application machine where the agent is installed:
sudo sh /opt/zpa/bin/agent_php.sh configure -zpa.application_name "appname"
sudo sh /opt/zpa/bin/agent_php.sh configure -zpa.application_name "phpmyadmin"
Replace `appname` with the appropriate application name for the specific machine. For example,
2. Restart the PHP Application: After executing the command, Restart the PHP application to apply the changes.
3. Verify in Applications Manager UI: Check the APM tab in Applications Manager UI to confirm that the updated application name is correctly reflected.
4. UnManage/Remove Previously Discovered Monitors (If Needed): Once all applications are successfully monitored with the updated names, unManage/remove any previously discovered monitors to avoid duplication and confusion.
