Monitor CPU Usage in Your PHP Application

Monitoring the CPU usage of your PHP application is essential to ensure optimal performance and efficient resource utilization. High CPU usage can lead to application slowdowns, unresponsiveness, and potential server crashes. By keeping a close eye on CPU metrics, you can proactively identify performance bottlenecks, optimize code, and provide a smooth user experience.

Saashound, a powerful real-time event tracking tool, offers seamless CPU monitoring for your PHP application. By integrating Saashound directly into your application or server, you can effortlessly track CPU usage in real-time and receive insightful data to make informed decisions.

Connecting Saashound to Your PHP Application

To begin monitoring CPU usage in your PHP application using Saashound, follow these simple steps:

1. Sign up for a free Saashound account to start tracking your application’s events.
2. Create your first project from the user-friendly dashboard.
3. Access the settings and securely copy your unique API token.

PHP Integration

Integrating Saashound into your PHP application is straightforward. Use the following code snippet to start tracking CPU usage. Remember to replace API_TOKEN with your actual Saashound API token and update the project name to match your project.

<?php

function logEvent() {
    $apiUrl = 'https://api.saashound.co/log-event';
    $payload = json_encode([
        'project' => 'my-project',
        'channel' => 'server-status',
        'event' => 'High CPU Usage',
        'description' => 'CPU for my-second-project has been over 95% for 1 Hour!.',
        'icon' => '🔥',
        'notify' => true
    ]);

    $headers = [
        'Content-Type: application/json',
        'Authorization: Bearer API_TOKEN',
    ];

    $ch = curl_init($apiUrl);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, 'POST');
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $payload);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);

    $response = curl_exec($ch);
    $httpCode = curl_getinfo($ch, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE);

    if ($httpCode >= 200 && $httpCode < 300) {
        echo 'Log event sent successfully!';
    } else {
        echo 'Failed to send log event. Response code: ' . $httpCode;
    }

    curl_close($ch);
}

logEvent();
