10. 10 The API REST style, send POST with parameters to: https://api.newrelic.com/ deployments.xml get back XML representation of your
 new Deploy object. Account License Key goes in the X-Api-Key header. Send either the application’s name or it’s ID as a POST parameter
 APP_NAME: ! Must match what is in the newrelic.yml file! ! APP_ID:! Can be found in the URL on rpm.newrelic.com! Optional fields supported:
 USER: ! Who did the deploy? Our Capistrano helper defaults to $USER, but can be anything.! ! REVISION: What was deployed?! ! CHANGELOG: Up to 64k of text that will be shown on the Change log page. https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/apm/new-relic-apm/maintenance/deployment-notifications
11. 11 Using cURL curl -v \ -H "X-Api-Key: 07df07df07df07df07df07df07df07df07df07df07df07df" \ -d "deployment[app_id]=12345" \ -d "deployment[description]=Cool deployment" \ https://api.newrelic.com/deployments.xml
12. 12 Using the Ruby or Java Agent CLI to record a deployment # Ruby Agent newrelic deployments [options] # Java Agent java -jar newrelic.jar deployment [options]
13. 13 Using Capistrano with the Ruby Agent # # Capfile # require 'capistrano/setup' # Include default deployment tasks require 'capistrano/deploy' require 'capistrano/console' require 'capistrano/rbenv' require 'capistrano/bundler' # New Relic Agent tasks require 'new_relic/recipes' # # config/deploy.rb # before 'deploy:finished', 'newrelic:notice_deployment'
14. 14 Understanding Capistrano Tasks deploy deploy:starting [before] deploy:ensure_stage deploy:set_shared_assets deploy:check deploy:started deploy:updating git:create_release deploy:symlink:shared deploy:updated [before] deploy:bundle [after] deploy:migrate deploy:compile_assets deploy:normalize_assets deploy:publishing deploy:symlink:release deploy:published deploy:finishing deploy:cleanup deploy:finished deploy:log_revision deploy deploy:starting [before] deploy:ensure_stage deploy:set_shared_assets deploy:check deploy:started deploy:reverting deploy:revert_release deploy:reverted [after] deploy:rollback_assets deploy:publishing deploy:symlink:release deploy:published deploy:finishing_rollback deploy:cleanup_rollback deploy:finished deploy:log_revision http://capistranorb.com/documentation/getting-started/flow/
