Server tool list (10)
Raw names from tools/list. Only developers need these.
| phpray_sites | List the PHP sites this token can see, with requests, p95 latency and error rate. Start here: every other tool needs a site_id from this list. |
| phpray_overview | Headline numbers for one site over a time window: requests, errors, p50/p95/p99 latency, database share and N+1 count. Use this before digging into anything else. |
| phpray_slow_pages | The slowest URLs on a site, with request counts and p95, from the request timeseries. Answers "which page is slow". |
| phpray_slow_queries | SQL fingerprints ordered by time spent, with call counts and the caller when known. Literals are already masked. Answers "which query is slow". |
| phpray_components | Time attributed to each plugin, theme or vendor package on profiled requests. Answers "which plugin is slowing the site down". Empty when function profiling is off. |
| phpray_errors | Requests that failed on a site: PHP errors and warnings with file and line where PHP raised one, plus 5xx responses that carry no PHP error. Pass an id to phpray_trace to see what one of them did. |
| phpray_traces | Recent requests for a site. Filter with min_ms and status to find the bad ones, then pass an id to phpray_trace. |
| phpray_trace | One request in full: wall time split into PHP, database and outbound HTTP, every query, every external call, errors, and the component breakdown when the request was profiled. |
| phpray_compare | Two time ranges for one site side by side. Use it to check whether a deployment, a plugin update or a configuration change made things better or worse. |
| phpray_alerts | Alerts currently firing across every site this token can see, worst overrun first. |
