I have several virtual servers operating with php-fpm perfectly fine.
Buffering/caching with Wordpress is great. But now…
I’m trying to implement a new site that uses php for server-side events
to stream live updates to clients. This is, I believe, properly done
with an infinite loop in php that will send events as they occur. The
problem is the events seem to be getting buffered and don’t appear.
If I write the php program to end after sending an event then it works.
If I restart php-fpm then it works - at least for a while.
I’ve tried numerous config options - obviously what I’m trying isn’t
working. Any suggestions?

By default, nginx only starts sending data to a client once it has
a full buffer ready. If you want to stream data immediately,
you have to switch off buffering - either with the fastcgi_buffering
directive, or using the X-Accel-Buffering header in a response.
See Module ngx_http_fastcgi_module for details.
Additionally, there are some buffering option in PHP. I’m not a
PHP expert, but likely flush() function will help if the problem
is on PHP side, see PHP: flush - Manual.

I thought I had done both…not seeing any difference in behaviour.
