CodeIgniter PHP App Monitoring

CodeIgniter is a PHP framework based on the model view controller (MVC) development pattern. It is built for developers who need a simple and elegant toolkit to create full-featured web applications. It is most often noted for its speed when compared to other PHP frameworks.

No transaction names in CodeIgniter framework.

Atatus does not automatically detect the CodeIgniter framework in PHP APM. That’s why you do not see the transaction name in CodeIgniter web framework. This issue can be resolved by setting the framework name in Atatus configuration. This configuration can be set in different places.

1. atatus.ini file

If you want to run only one CodeIgniter application in your host, you can directly set the framework name in atatus.ini as follows

atatus.framework = "CodeIgniter"

You can find the path of atatus.ini file by running php -i | grep atatus.ini

2. Apache

In Apache, you can set the framework name in .htaccess file.

.htaccess file

If you are running mutiple applications in Apache server, you can set the framework name to specific app in the .htaccess file as follows.

php_value atatus.framework "CodeIgniter"

3. Nginx

There are two ways you can set the framework name in Nginx. You can do them through:

Nginx config file.
.user.ini file

Nginx config file

If you are running multiple applications and have Nginx configuration for each app, then you can set the framework name to specific app in your Nginx configuration file as follows.

location /app {
    ...
    fastcgi_param PHP_VALUE "atatus.framework=CodeIgniter";
    ...
}

location / api {
    ...
    fastcgi_param PHP_VALUE "atatus.framework=CodeIgniter";
    ...
}

.user.ini file

You can also use .user.ini to set the framework as follows

atatus.framework = "CodeIgniter"
