fpm configuration

pm.status = /fpm-status
pm.ping = /fpm-ping

Apache

1. I suppose you don't really have to use separate port for this, but might avoid problems

Listen 127.0.0.1:89
<Virtualhost 127.0.0.1:89>
 <Location /fpm-status>
   Require host localhost
   ProxyPass unix:/run/php/php-fpm.sock|fcgi://localhost:9001
 </Location>
 <Location /fpm-ping>
   Require host localhost
   ProxyPass unix:/run/php/php-fpm.sock|fcgi://localhost:9001
 </Location>
</VirtualHost>

HOWTO

Configuring number of servers

  dynamic - the number of child processes are set dynamically based on the
            following directives:
            pm.max_children      - the maximum number of children that can
                                   be alive at the same time.

            pm.start_servers     - the number of children created on startup.
                                   this value must not be less than min_spare_servers 
                                   and not greater than max_spare_servers.

            pm.min_spare_servers - the minimum number of children in 'idle'
                                   state (waiting to process). If the number
                                   of 'idle' processes is less than this
                                   number then some children will be created.

            pm.max_spare_servers - the maximum number of children in 'idle'
                                   state (waiting to process). If the number
                                   of 'idle' processes is greater than this
                                   number then some children will be killed.
