passenger-status(8)                    Adminstration Commands                    passenger-status(8)



NAME
       passenger-status - inspect Phusion Passenger's internal status

SYNOPSIS
       passenger-status [pid]

DESCRIPTION
       passenger-status looks at the current status of a Phusion Passenger installation. It will lo‐
       cate Phusion Passenger automatically if it is running and will give you a list  of  instances
       if  there  is  more  than one Phusion Passenger instance running. You can then select the in‐
       stance by specifying the relevant PID on the command line.

       The general information section shows the following details:

       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.

       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.
              are idle. Idle application instances will be shutdown after a while, as can be  speci‐
              fied  with  PassengerPoolIdleTime  in  the configuration. The value of inactive equals
              count - active.

       The applications section shows each application instance, 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
