PHP-FPM, Monit, ping/status pages, Apache

Hello,

I'm trying to monitor my FPM daemon with Monit, and I'm assuming that 
the following is not the best technique due to respawning and the PID 
changing?

> check process php5-fpm with pidfile "/var/run/php5-fpm.pid"
>       start = "/etc/init.d/php5-fpm start"
>       stop = "/etc/init.d/php5-fpm stop"
>       if failed port 80 protocol http then restart
>
 From what I can gather, the better way to do this is to make use of the 
FPM ping URLs, only I'm unable to activate these with Apache.

What exactly has to be done in Apache/PHP-FPM, other than setting the 
FPM pool option:

pm.status_path = /status
ping.path = /ping

which I was hoping would allow me to simply go to:

http://mydomain.com/status

to pull up the status page. When I go to this URL I'm getting 404 
errors. I'm assuming that I need some sort of <Location> handler to 
redirect /status and /ping to my FPM server on localhost port 9000. How 
can I do this?
