💅 passenger-status — the vibe check for your Passenger

okay so bestie, welcome to passenger-status, the section 8 admin command that lets you peek inside Phusion Passenger's internal status. yeah. we're snooping. but like, in a consensual, admin-sanctioned way 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

passenger-status — inspect Phusion Passenger's internal status 🔍

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

passenger-status [pid]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So passenger-status looks at the current status of a Phusion Passenger installation, no cap. It'll locate Phusion Passenger automatically if it's running (main character energy, honestly ✨) and it'll hand you a list of instances if there's more than one Phusion Passenger instance running. Then you get to pick which instance you wanna stare at by passing the relevant PID on the command line. iconic.

The general information section shows you these deets:

  • max — the maximum number of application instances that Phusion Passenger will spawn. This equals the value given for PassengerMaxPoolSize in the configuration.
  • count — the number of application instances that are currently alive. This value is always less than or equal to max. (math is mathing 💀)
  • active — the number of application instances that are currently processing requests. This value is always less than or equal to count.
  • inactive — the number of application instances that are currently not processing requests, i.e. they're idle. Idle application instances will be shutdown after a while, as can be specified with PassengerPoolIdleTime in the configuration. The value of inactive equals count - active. bye bestie, go take a nap 😴

The applications section shows each application instance, and which directory it belongs to. The sessions field shows how many HTTP client are currently being processed by that application instance. 👑

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • pid — the process ID of the Phusion Passenger instance you want to look at 👀
