The Zend Monitor component is an alerting and collection mechanism for early detection of PHP script problems. The Zend Monitor component integrates into the PHP runtime environment and watches for various events such as errors, failing functions, slow scripts, database errors, etc. When an event occurs, the Zend Monitor collects and reports all the relevant debugging information. This information can then be used to perform root cause analysis.
The events generated by the Zend Monitor are governed by rules called Monitoring Rules, that are displayed on the Applications | Monitoring Rules page. These rules define the nature of an event and the parameters for capturing event-related information in an application.
